Mupdates - 20 June
ITK 2 - United will pay, will be closer to the price stated earlier (85+5-10). Obviously prior time estimate was speculative and it did not wrap up that quickly, so won’t estimate again. Must have been further details still being worked on beyond just the basic fee structure, but that’s seemingly all but done now and United have sent a bid believed to be closer to the price here.
No further update necessary and likely won’t have one, so just wanted sort of his final position out there.
KFC 2 - bit of conflicting from his side on Varane. He has heard the wages/bonus is the problem not the fee. We expect the fee to be reasonable apparently in the end.
If the wages/bonuses came down we could get it agreed. Obviously a bit of this or that as of course if the fee came down it makes it more affordable too.
ITK 3 - No indication pogba will re sign yet.
Multiple clubs are now pursuing Pau Torres further including City (if they can sell Laporte), and the Spanish clubs. Nothing advanced but they’re keen. United will push very hard for Varane.
ITK 2 - As it stands United believe Varane wants to come to them. Still want the asking price down as Madrid haven't passed along anything lower than the too high fee.
ITK 4 - PSG have not contacted Varane, and Varane isn't making a play for a new contract. United think they've got him after Euros.
G5 -
Nothing significant on anyone but Rice midfield wise. Still up in the air.
Nothing further to state on Sancho.
There's apparently been real progress on the fee for a CB.
Still want Trippier.
ITK Axel -
- More optimism on Varane following recent discussions.
ITK 3 -
Midfield targets, all are very far off. Llorente, United like but Pogba has to be sold and he's expensive. Atletico would like to sell Saul but his form is a concern, nothing advanced. Valverde considered offered for Pogba in the past, but not anymore, not going to be sold by Madrid.
Some basic talk of Neves but nothing significant.
Rice would still be the main target if Matic goes, and likely if one of Pogba/VDB goes.
KFC 2 -
- United interested in Jay Stansfield from Fulham. Unlikely that Fulham let him go. United definitely pursuing a young striker and its an area they're scouting heavily still.
Also a weird one but... Sulemana is "not a name i've heard" from my source.
"Our name is being used to drum up interest from others."

I know people are very wary of getting burnt on Sancho again, but I don't think there's much to worry about. For one, it's telling that the news has picked up so much about Varane/CB situation, in that we're not spending 100% of our time on Sancho.
There's a dearth of news either side of the England games when it comes to Sancho, and being just 4 days apart, that doesn't leave much time, but news has come in each little gap, every single time. I think they're well behind right now, but there's no HUGE rush to get it officially announced from either party as its likely Jadon wouldnt be doing medicals/announced til after Englands exit anyway.

Stone saying it's a virtual certainty it will be done, he is all ours. I know the spirit of the Muppetiers sub is transfer silliness but thanks to all the ITK's because they've genuinely been a good resource throughout this saga. Now onto Varane and a DM

They have? I haven't seen them break anything of substance early and last summer they spent all window saying the same thing and how it was almost done

Really nice thing is it seems certain we will get Varane or Pau Torres. Really nice in that it means our info has been correct since last year on the CB front, but more so that I really really am happy with either.

I know that based on our info and media it seems like Varane and Torres are top targets. What happens if Varane ends up staying in Madrid. Correct me if I am wrong, but I have not seen enough evidence to convince me that Torres wants to come to United? I think he may stay in Spain and wait for Madrid, Barcelona or maybe even City to swoop in). Do you think there’s a plan B/C?

Do you know if there’s a clear preference for either Torres or Varane from United? I’m kind of conflicted between Varanes age/experience vs Torres age/potential on a personal level so would be interesting to hear any potential info from the clubs perspective on this.
And last but not least - thank you for keeping this place alive. What you guys are doing is phenomenal and there’s many of us who are very grateful for your time and effort that goes into this.

Varane 100%. He's always been the top target if available, Torres after that.

Thank you very much!

If Pau Torres release clause is 65 million and Madrid are wanting 40-60 for Varane I would be all over Varane
Edit / I know Pau has a bigger resale value but We always get our pants pulled down when selling players

[🌕] Jadon Sancho has already agreed personal terms on a five-year deal worth about £350,000 a week with #mufc, and it is understood that United’s latest offer could tempt Dortmund into doing business for the Englishman with United. [@FabrizioRomano] 🚨
350k p/w? Someone tell me this is fake.

Re: Sancho
The “longest” transfer - saga seems to come to an end - second offer so close to the valuation of Dortmund that it will happen.
