Manchester United are now preparing an ambitious move to sign an £80m+ mega star who is keen to complete a Premier League switch, according to reports.
Man Utd preparing £80m+ offer to sign Juventus forward
The debt may be increasing at Old Trafford, but that's not set to stand in the way of INEOS' spending in 2026. According to recent reports, Sir Jim Ratcliffe and co. have set their sights on major upgrades for Ruben Amorim ahead of 2026, which could include one of Elliot Anderson or Adam Wharton.
The Premier League duo are wanted men in English football and whoever wins the race to secure their signatures next year will land transformative midfield additions.
Midfield is certainly an area of concern for Amorim, who needs the same overhaul at the heart of his side that his frontline received last summer.
As things stand, the former Sporting CP manager has an ageing Casemiro, an untrusted Manuel Ugarte, Bruno Fernandes and the unhappy Kobbie Mainoo to call on in his deep midfield roles. And given that Bryan Mbeumo is heading to AFCON, Fernandes may be forced to push ahead into one of the No.10 roles.
Adam Wharton
A deep-lying midfielder should be top of INEOS' priority list, but that is unlikely to stand in the way of even more attacking additions. According to reports in Spain, Man United are now preparing an offer to sign Kenan Yildiz from Juventus worth as much as €100m (£88m in 2026.
The Juventus star reportedly wants a Premier League move, handing those at Old Trafford a major boost in pursuit of his signature next year.
"Magnificent" Yildiz would spearhead Man Utd rise
Aside from Fernandes, it's difficult to pick out a true world-beater in Man United's strongest side. They're beginning to form the foundation of a side capable of getting back into the Premier League's top four, but still lack that big standout player that all top sides can boast across Europe.
Yildiz would be that superstar. The 20-year-old is already one of, if not the top stars at Juventus and was dubbed "magnificent" by scout Jacek Kulig last season.
After 21 games in all competitions this season, Yildiz has scored six goals and created another six with plenty more to come throughout the campaign.

Manchester United look set to make a move for one player should Bruno Fernandes depart.
In the current market, signing a player of the 20-year-old's quality who can play all across the frontline for around £88m could even turn into an undeniable bargain. If United have the funds, then a deal to sign Yildiz should be seen as a no-brainer next year.
