Here is a summary of United’s most recent transfer news:
Summerville interest
Rennes is reportedly interested in star winger Crysencio Summerville after making a move for Kamara, according to L’Equipe, a French news outlet. Summerville was the standout performer in the Championship last season, and the player “would not be opposed” to joining them. According to a report in Foot Mercato, Rennes is up against stiff competition from four Premier League teams for the 22-year-old. Their reported interest in Summerville stems from rumours that associate their own star, Desire Doue, with European heavyweights Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain, the latter of which is said to have made a recent offer worth €50 million (£42 million). Chelsea is reportedly keeping a close eye on Summerville’s situation.

Discussions over a loan transfer ensued when Frankfurt investigated the potential for a long-term agreement. The Whites are allegedly waiting for £12.6 million to approve Kristensen’s permanent departure. Kristensen was on loan at Roma for the previous season. Kristensen has a deal with United that runs through the summer of 2027.
Recently, Eintracht completed the free transfer acquisition of former Leeds defender Robin Koch.
