Manchester United Plot £40m Move for Mateta: Latest Transfer News and Rumors

Manchester United are reportedly setting their sights on Crystal Palace striker Jean-Philippe Mateta in a £40m move. The French forward has caught the attention of United's hierarchy following a stellar 2023-24 season and another impressive campaign with 15 goals this season. Talks between the two clubs are already underway, although United coach Ruben Amorim needs to generate funds before finalizing the deal.

Jobe Bellingham, the younger brother of Real Madrid star Jude Bellingham, is also on United's radar. The Sunderland midfielder has been a standout performer in the Championship this season, attracting interest from several Premier League clubs including Tottenham, Arsenal, and Brentford.

Chelsea are keeping tabs on Feyenoord's Dávid Hancko, who is also wanted by Tottenham and Juventus. The 27-year-old centre-back could command a fee in excess of €50m this summer.

West Ham United have reached out to Tammy Abraham's representatives, as the striker is open to a return to the Premier League after AC Milan declined to make his loan move permanent. Abraham, who has scored twice in 21 Serie A appearances this season, is also being pursued by Wolves and Everton.

Eintracht Frankfurt are interested in Anton Stach from TSG Hoffenheim. The midfielder, under contract until 2027, could be available for around €20m this summer, with several Bundesliga clubs keen on signing him.
