Monday, July 13, 2026 -Manchester United are in advanced talks to sign Youri Tielemans from Aston Villa.
Jason Wilcox, United’s director of football, is in advanced
talks with Villa regarding a financial package for Tielemans. The 29-year-old,
who was part of Belgium’s World Cup squad, is thought to have a £35m release
clause in his contract, which has two years remaining.
Tielemans has spent three years at Villa Park and was a key
part of the team which won the Europa League last season. He also impressed for
Belgium at the World Cup, scoring twice in the dramatic 3-2 win over Senegal in
the round of 32.
With Casemiro having departed United at the end of last
season and Manuel Ugarte considered a squad player at best, Michael Carrick is
seeking to overhaul his midfield department.
Tielemans is set to join Andrey Santos as part of
United's summer midfield revamp. A £50m ($67m) deal has been agreed with
Chelsea, with the two clubs going through the formalities before announcing the
transfer. Goalkeeper Karl Darlow is also close to joining from Leeds United to
provide competition for No. 1 Senne Lammens.
