      But now it is understood he could be offloaded for just £39.5m.
      According to Calcio Mercato, Jose Mourinho’s men would be open to selling Abraham for little more than the £35m they paid Chelsea in 2021.
      It comes following a difficult season for the ex-Blues man in which he has scored nine times in 46 appearances.
      That is a significant drop off from the 27 goals he registered in his first campaign in Italy.

      Speaking about his recent struggles, Abraham said: “I know I haven’t been the real me, I know I haven’t been playing the best I can be, but I am human at the end of the day.
      “I’ve been low in confidence, but today I had to show the fans I’m still me and I am still willing to fight for the team and do as much as I can for the team.”
      Yet despite his poor form, Man Utd, Tottenham and Paris Saint-Germain are all reportedly interested in the 11-cap England man.
      But the Red Devils are also looking at alternative options – namely Napoli’s Victor Osimhen and Tottenham’s Harry Kane.

      The Glazers are looking to sell up for a world-record £6billion after 18 years at the helm.
      They received fresh offers from British businessman Sir Jim Ratcliffe and Qatari banker Sheikh Jassim last month.
      But the Athletic claims boss Ten Hag will be limited to just a £100million transfer kitty, regardless of the final takeover decision.
      It’s said that United cannot go on a mammoth spending spree due to Financial Fair Play rules.

      Ten Hag has made no secret of his desire to reinforce the squad with several world-class players.
      But he will have to axe numerous current stars if he wants more transfer funds added to the pot.
      It means United may only be able to strengthen one or two key areas this summer.
      The Red Devils are looking for a new goalkeeper amid doubts over David De Gea’s expiring contract.

      Ten Hag also wants a new centre forward, with a midfielder and winger also on his wish list.
      But unless buyers are found for misfits like Harry Maguire and Donny van de Beek, Ten Hag will have to see just how far £100m will stretch in the current climate.
      Asked about summer funds amid takeover talks, Ten Hag said: “I don’t have an influence on that… also I don’t know.
      “The only thing what I know is that Man United is one of the biggest clubs and I think it’s among maybe the two biggest clubs in the world from a fanbase perspective.
      “So I think this club has to compete for the highest in the world, so Champions League, Premier League.
      “But in football you need funds to construct squads because at the end of the day, the level from your players makes you successful or not.
      “Everyone knows you need funds to construct a squad. High level players cost a lot of money.
      “I, we, see this as a project. In a project you are in windows, you strengthen your squad needs or make refreshments, so you get more balance and you bring young players in.
      “But at the end of the day we want to be in the Champions League and we want to compete and knock them all out, so then we have a way to go.” More

      The Red Devils made Maguire the world’s most expensive defender when they swooped for the star in 2019.
      But Maguire has struggled to convince some fans since his £80m move from Leicester and has lost his first-team place this season.
      Portuguese newspaper O Jogo report that United are making moves to find a new centre-back – and Maguire’s team-mate Fernandes could play a role.
      The midfielder shares an agent with United target Goncalo Inacio, which could be crucial for the negotiations.

      The report claims United have got in touch with agent Miguel Pinho to work out if any transfer can be done.
      Inacio has played for Sporting Lisbon since 2020 after emerging from their youth academy.
      He has impressed since claiming a first-team was linked with Man United last summer.
      The 21-year-old has made 29 appearances this season for a Sporting side who sit fourth in the Portuguese league.

      Ignacio also played both games against Arsenal in the Europa League and scored in the first leg before his side stunned the Londoners at the Emirates.
      United have had great success with buying from Sporting Lisbon previously, with both Cristiano Ronaldo and Nani arriving from the Jose Alvalade Stadium previously.
      Along with a new defender, the Red Devils are also going for a new striker and potentially a new keeper. More

      He has impressed for the LaLiga giants in his 27 appearances but could be sold to relieve some of the club’s financial issues.
      It would be a blow for Barcelona as he has formed a solid defensive relationship with Ronald Araújo.
      This has helped the club win the Spanish Super Cup and be on the verge of winning the LaLiga title with a historic defensive record.
      This form has led to United being willing to offer up to £61million for the defender, as reported by Fichajes.

      This fee could tempt the Catalonian side to cash in on the former Chelsea star.
      Doing so could aid the club in their ambition to re-sign Lionel Messi.

      Qatari billionaire Sheikh Jassim is hoping to complete a full takeover of United after submitting a new bid at the end of April.
      The Middle Eastern banker hopes to see off interest from British businessman Sir Jim Ratcliffe.
      And Bild claims Sheikh Jassim has big plans for the Red Devils should he replace the Glazers this summer.
      The ambitious tycoon is hoping to land not one, not two, but THREE members of France’s squad who finished runners-up in December’s World Cup.

      The top name on Sheikh Jassim’s list is Paris Saint-Germain superstar Mbappe, who has 35 goals this season.
      The 24-year-old only signed a new contract with the Ligue 1 champs last year and reportedly pockets a mammoth £5.3million each month.
      Sheikh Jassim also hopes to bolster Erik ten Hag’s midfield with the capture of Eduardo Camavinga, 20.

      But he could jump at the chance to re-establish himself as a midfielder after being deployed at left-back for most of the season.
      Real are also confident of winning the race for Borussia Dortmund’s Jude Bellingham.
      And that would likely relegate Camavinga to an even lower spot in Carlo Ancelotti’s midfield pecking order.
      The last player on Sheikh Jassim’s list is winger Kingsley Coman.
      Despite only being 26 years old, he has already won titles in numerous countries with Bayern Munich, Juventus and PSG.
      And Coman would likely solve United’s problem right-hand side, with Antony and Jadon Sancho both struggling to impress consistently following their own big-money moves.
      The reports of Sheikh Jassim targeting the trio come after The Sun revealed Neymar was a top target for the mega rich banker.

      Premier League sides were keen on his signature, but Madrid are close to sealing a deal on a contract worth £12million-a-year, according to Marca.
      Manchester City, Manchester United, Liverpool and Chelsea have all been tipped with an interest in the midfielder.
      Liverpool dropped out of the race last month after discovering that a transfer would be too expensive.
      Whereas now they have been joined by Man City on the wayside.

      The report suggests that Bellingham has opted to move to the Santiago Bernabeu despite being offered more money by the Premier League side.
      The Spanish outlet claims that Madrid have been planning the transfer for over a year and now have an “agreement in principle”.

      This deal will see the Englishman become a Madrid player on June 30 and will sign a contract until 2029.

      German outlet BILD is suggesting that Dortmund are asking for £124million, while Madrid are prepared to offer between £90m and £105m.
      But Marca, suggests that the “friendly” Dortmund will “not push the operation” back and will take a lower fee.
      Should the transfer go through it would be a major coup for Madrid.
      Bellingham will be hoped to ease the loss of veterans Toni Kroos and Luka Modric, who are both approaching the end of their careers.
      He is seen as the long-term successor for the latter.
      And it’s reckoned Eduardo Camavinga and Aurelien Tchouameni have both spoken to Bellingham about joining them in Spain.

      But the injury is not as bad as first feared and manager Erik ten Hag will have the Frenchman back at his disposal in just over a week and a half’s time.

      “But still, the coming two games, he’s not available.”
      Ten Hag revealed late last month that he was optimistic about France international’s chances of making a faster-than-expected recovery.
