The end of the 2023/24 season in Europe is getting closer and closer and the clubs' chiefs are already working to agree on the sales and purchases of the players that will reinforce their squads next summer. Manchester United are no exception and, with Sir Jim Ratcliffe and his assistants already in charge of football-related decisions, they are planning the next transfer window.

Over the past few weeks there have been rumors about the possible arrival of many midfielders at Old Trafford. Boss Erik Ten Hag is not satisfied with the options he currently has, as during the season he had problems putting together the starting lineup due to injuries of important players such as Casemiro and Mason Mount. In addition, the performances of some of them have also been far from expectations, such as Scott McTominay, Sofyan Amrabat and Christian Eriksen.

With this scenario, players like Exequiel Palacios and Guido Rodriguez are being watched as possible signings. And Sebastian Szymanski has joined the list. The 24-year-old Polish midfielder has been shining since last summer at Fenerbahçe in Turkey, where he has scored 12 goals in 40 games, including the Super League, domestic cups and European tournaments.

These performances have attracted the attention of top-level clubs, while the player's value has risen sharply. In fact, according to the specialized website Transfermarkt, he is currently worth €20 million (about £17 million). While this is a considerable price, many teams in Europe will be willing to pay it for a player with that kind of talent.

The Red Devils have competition

In addition to Manchester United, Fichajes.com claims that two other Premier League 'Big Six' clubs are interested in Sebastian Szymanski: Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur. But they are not the only ones, as his future could be in Italy's Serie A, considering that AC Milan and Inter have also targeted him and could make an offer to Fenerbahçe for him soon. It will depend on how good the offers are and what are Sebastian's plans for his career.
