According to sources in Spain, the 45-year-old coach is keen on bringing in Frenkie de Jong and Ronald Araujo to strengthen the squad. At the same time, he has reportedly identified several players he is willing to offload, including Alejandro Garnacho, André Onana, and Matthijs de Ligt.

A report from El Nacional claims that Xavi considers Garnacho, Onana, and De Ligt surplus to requirements, with their combined Estimated Transfer Value (ETV) reaching approximately €161.5 million. Their potential sales could help fund the squad overhaul he envisions.

Both Garnacho and Onana have been the subject of exit rumors in recent months, while De Ligt’s position remains somewhat stable after his move from Bayern Munich last summer. Amorim has already acknowledged that Manchester United will need to sell players before making new acquisitions in the upcoming transfer window.

Additionally, players like Christian Eriksen and Victor Lindelof are expected to leave as their contracts run out, while young midfielder Kobbie Mainoo is reportedly attracting interest from Chelsea amid ongoing contract discussions.

Meanwhile, United is said to be pursuing a deal for Galatasaray’s star striker Victor Osimhen as they look to reinforce their attacking options. With these potential changes, the club could see a major transformation ahead of the 2025-26 season.
