Rashford To Arsenal: Six Potential 2025 Man Utd Sales To Fund Amorim Rebuild

Manchester United need to raise funds and quickly, so here are six potential transfers in 2025 that could bring in £200m for Ruben Amorim’s huge rebuild.

The extraordinary finish to the Manchester derby should give Amorim‘s underperforming squad a much-needed confidence boost, but Man Utd (nor Man City, really) deserved to take all three points from a bizarre match.

So, the fact remains that the Red Devils require an almighty rebuild in 2025 as Amorim – who has inherited a basket case of a club suffering after years of poor off-field decisions – has a massive job ahead of him.

It feels like Groundhog Day again, as this was also the case in 2022 upon Erik ten Hag’s arrival. Since the Dutchman’s appointment, dire recruitment has contributed to Man Utd arguably going backwards rather than forwards.

Co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe supposedly brought in the ‘best in class’ to support him but it remains to be seen whether his increasingly laughable regime is up to the task of leading Man Utd.

Failings in the transfer market leave Amorim with fewer than ten ‘unsellables’ and upgrades are required all over the pitch if they are to return to challenging for the Premier League and Champions League any time soon.

Unfortunately for Amorim, Man Utd have a ‘tight budget’ heading into the winter transfer window and may have to sell players to raise funds.

So, from the least expensive potential deal upwards, here are six somewhat feasible 2025 sales (fees taken from transfermarkt) they could sanction to bolster Amorim’s war chest…

Casemiro to Galatasaray (£10m)
Ratcliffe and co. are rueing the previous regime’s baffling decision to give the ageing Casemiro a four-year (plus extension option) contract when he was bought from Real Madrid for an eye-watering £60m in 2022.

Casemiro’s form has sharply declined since his positive debut season. He does not appear to be part of Amorim’s plans as the 32-year-old has been an unused substitute in United’s last three Premier League games.

Realistically, Man Utd just need to get Casemiro’s high wage off the books and this could come as a free transfer. A Saudi Pro League move has consistently been mooted, but there is also reported interest from Galatasaray, who could give him an opportunity to ply his trade with/against several Premier League has-beens (including Jose Mourinho) in the Turkish Super Lig.

Andre Onana to Inter Milan (£29m)
David De Gea’s replacement overcame a couple of post-transfer disasterclasses in the Champions League to establish himself at Man Utd. He’s been one of their better performers over the past 18 months.

Despite this, Man Utd have still consistently been linked with potential upgrades and his worrying recent performances (which have seen him lose his spot as the best goalkeeper in the Premier League) are starting to justify these calls.

Barcelona Secure First Signing of 2025 Window

According to a recent report from Fichajes, Barcelona have secured their first signing for 2025; Jonathan Tah from Bayer Leverkusen.

The outlet mentions that the German centre-back, currently one of the standout players at the Bundesliga club, has agreed to join the Blaugrana after reaching a deal with his agent, Pini Zahavi.

At 28 years old, Tah is seen as a key figure in Bayer Leverkusen’s setup. He played a pivotal role in their title-winning campaign, helping them win the Bundesliga trophy last season.

Known for his strong defensive presence and leadership qualities, Tah’s arrival is expected to provide Barcelona with much-needed experience and depth in their defensive lineup.

Barcelona want to strengthen their backline

This move comes as Barcelona look to strengthen their squad for the upcoming season. Tah’s experience at the top level of German football makes him a strategic addition for the Catalan club, who are eager to bolster their backline.

The addition of the German international would not only meet Barcelona’s sporting needs but could also pave the way for further significant moves in the summer transfer window.

As part of their strategy to manage finances, Barcelona may look to sell a few of their current defenders.

Andreas Christensen and Ronald Araujo, both of whom have attracted interest from other clubs, could be among those to leave, potentially generating considerable funds for the club.

With Tah set to play a central role in Barcelona’s defence, the club is looking at a renewal that combines both stability and future potential.

His leadership and defensive qualities are expected to make him a key figure under head coach Hansi Flick, who is familiar with his capabilities and views him as an ideal fit for his defensive rotation system.

Man Utd Ready To Hijack £90m Rated Arsenal Target

Under Ten Hag, Manchester United signed attacking players like Antony, Hojlund and Zirkzee, but the trio have not been productive in front of goal.

The Red Devils need a world class playmaker to light up Old Trafford and they are serious about signing a quality Georgian international

According to Sport MediaSet, Man Utd are ready to agree a contract with Khvicha Kvaratskhelia that will make him earn nine million euros a year, 45 million euros (£37.4m) in the next five years.

The Italian news source have mentioned that Napoli have been trying to reach an agreement with the versatile winger, but so far, they have only offered six million euros a season. On the other hand, United have offered three million more.

The 23-year-old star’s current deal with the Serie A leaders will expire in 2027 and he is not going to come for cheap.

Earlier this month, Caught Offside revealed that Man Utd manager, Ruben Amorim, wants to lure Kvaratskhelia, who is valued at £90m and also on the wish-lists of Arsenal and Liverpool.

The youngster, who can effectively play on the left flank and even as a center forward, was a key member of the Naples based side that won the Scudetto in the 2022-23 campaign.

In the current season, so far, he has netted 5 goals and registered 2 assists in 12 league starts under the management of former Chelsea boss, Antonio Conte.
