Overview
- Multiple outlets relaying Fichajes report that United are prepared to pay around €60m (£52m) to sign Gueye in the summer.
- Reports describe the 27-year-old as a leading option under consideration to succeed Casemiro, with talks characterized as exploratory and unconfirmed.
- Villarreal are said to value Gueye highly, with a contract running to 2028, and are reportedly unwilling to sanction a cut‑price sale.
- Gueye has become a key starter under Marcelino, is 6ft 2in and defensively strong, and recently scored Senegal’s winner in the AFCON final.
- Shortlist reporting remains split, with other names such as Amadou Onana, Carlos Baleba, Adam Wharton and Elliot Anderson also cited by separate sources.
