Here is the latest update from the 2026 FIFA World Cup as of 2026-07-13 12:35:00.
Manchester United is reportedly in advanced negotiations to acquire Youri Tielemans from Aston Villa, according to sources familiar with the situation. The club is poised to activate a £35 million ($47 million) release clause in the Belgian midfielder’s contract.
Aston Villa aims to retain the 29-year-old Tielemans, who has played a crucial role during his three-year tenure at Villa Park. However, sources have indicated that the player is eager for a chance to join United, enhancing the likelihood of a transfer.
Key Achievements
During the previous season, Tielemans was instrumental in Villa’s success, contributing to their Europa League victory. He also showcased his skills on the international stage, scoring twice in Belgium’s thrilling 3-2 victory over Senegal during the FIFA World Cup 2026 round of 32.
Additionally, Tielemans is expected to join Andrey Santos as part of United’s summer midfield overhaul. The club has also reached a £50 million ($67 million) agreement with Chelsea for Santos, with both sides finalizing the transfer details.
Moreover, goalkeeper Karl Darlow is nearing a move from Leeds United to bolster competition for starting goalkeeper Senne Lammens. In contrast, United has reportedly moved away from a transfer for Atalanta midfielder Éderson, despite an earlier agreement on a £35 million ($47 million) fee prior to the World Cup. The reasons for pausing this deal remain undisclosed, but talks may resume later in the summer.
