The Potential Impact of Mason Greenwood’s Return on Arsenal and Chelsea
The latest transfer news surrounding Manchester United reveals potential departures of Alvaro Fernandez and Hannibal Mejbri, who have buy options in their loan contracts at Benfica and Sevilla, respectively. The club is also expected to release high-earning French pair Raphael Varane and Anthony Martial upon the expiries of their contracts. Other stars like Jadon Sancho, Donny van de Beek, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, and Casemiro have been linked with permanent exits.
In the context of transfer activity, Arsenal and Chelsea have shown interest in Brentford striker Ivan Toney, who recently returned from an eight-month ban for breaching betting rules. Toney’s performance, highlighted by a goal in his comeback game, has attracted the attention of major clubs, with Manchester United also being linked as they are reportedly seeking a big-money striker for the summer amid the expected departure of Martial and the need for competition for Rasmus Hojlund.
The potential purchase of Toney could be facilitated by additional funds generated from high-profile sales, as well as the initial budget provided by Ratcliffe to manager Erik ten Hag. Toney, who has 18 months remaining on his Bees contract, has expressed his desire to progress to a top club and compete for titles, suggesting that a move to Old Trafford at the beginning of a new project could be the ideal opportunity.
