According to speculations, Manchester United might make a spectacular last-minute move to sign Moise Kean, a striker for Fiorentina, before his release clause expires later today. It has been proposed that Ruben Amorim could put his pursuit of Bryan Mbeumo on hold in order to focus on the position, since he is rumored to seek a new striker this summer.
After more than a month of talks with Brentford, who have turned down two official proposals, United is getting closer to Mbeumo. United’s second offer is worth a guaranteed £55 million plus £7.5 million in add-ons, while the Bees are reportedly demanding a bigger price than the £62.5 million paid to buy Matheus Cunha from Wolves.
A strong attempt to entice Kean to Old Trafford before the expiration of his release clause, according to Italian publications, cannot be ruled out. In Saudi Arabia, the 25-year-old showed no interest in Al-Qadsiah and Al-Hilal’s advances, according to Corriere dello Sport.
Manchester United could trigger Moise Kean’s release clause soon
They may have to sell periphery players before Kean’s contract’s €52 million release clause kicks in, according to some publications. The contract’s deadline to activate the aforementioned clause expires on July 15, so even if they have stepped up their attempts to sign the Italian, they are out of time to finalize a deal.
According to the source, Manchester United is seriously considering exercising Kean’s contract’s €52 million clause. The deadline is in a little more than twenty-four hours, and if an agreement were to be reached, it would be late on Tuesday.
If Manchester United’s plan to activate the release clause fails and they have genuine interest, Fiorentina has the right to demand top pay for their top scorer. Therefore, if they miss the deadline, there may be issues, even though it’s unclear if they would prioritize the 25-goal striker this summer.
