The summer transfer window is coming to an end, and Manchester United is one of the clubs that will need to be active in the closing days to complete deals
Harry Maguire’s deal to West Ham seems to be off the table, and Donny van de Beek’s transfer to Real Sociedad has reached a standstill.
The former now seems eager to remain at the club and contend for a starting position, while the latter must depart through this window in order to gain significant playing experience somewhere else.
According to La Nazione, the agreement for van de Beek has been preventing Fiorentina’s Sofyan Amrabat from moving, but the Serie A team anticipates things to go quickly now
The Dutchman is reportedly about to be sold, which suggests that negotiations between United and Fiorentina may become more heated.
The transaction might be finished rather quickly once the club re-establishes communication because it seems pointless to negotiate over a few extra euros at this point in the transfer season.
Whether or not that is Erik Ten Hag’s last signing of the window is unknown, but even if it is, he may reflect on a successful summer for club development.
