Manchester United is doing big things in the transfer window, preparing to have a better season. Let’s look at a few buzzing deals.

Moussa Diaby agrees to move to Al Ittihad.

France international Moussa Diaby has agreed to a move to Al Ittihad in the Saudi professional league, where he will team up with Karim Benzema and N’Golo Kante.

The Aston Villa man impressed in the Premier League last season, catching the eyes of top European clubs, but a €60 million offer from Al Ittihad has turned his head, and the two clubs have reached a compromise for the young winger to move to Saudi Arabia in the coming days.

Hojberg signs for Olympique Marseille.

Perre Emerick Hojberg, a Danish international, has signed a contract with Olympique Marseille, and the Roberto Di Zerbi revolution will unveil him.

Hojberg fell behind in the pecking order at Tottenham, with Ange Postecoglou preferring the mobile pair of Pape Mata Sarr and Yves Bissouma; the Denmark midfielder has now joined Mason Greenwood at Marseille ahead of the new season.

Is Kevin De Bruyne also leaving for Saudi Arabia?

News broke out over the weekend that Manchester City’s mercurial midfielder Kevin De Bruyne had accepted an offer from Al Ittihad in the Saudi Professional League, but close sources to the club have debunked the news. However, there’s no smoke without fire.

The sensational Belgian has an interest in the oil-rich league; he has expressed interest in the past and wouldn’t mind enjoying the money in the short term. KDB is one to watch as the start of the season approaches, with City insisting on allowing players to decide their future.

Rafael Varane has signed with Como.

After signing Alberto Moreno and Cesc Fabregas on a long-term contract, FC Como of the Italian Serie A has announced the signing of former French international Rafael Varane on a two-year deal.

Varane joined after a lackluster season at Manchester United, but the Serie A debutants, who are also considering Author Melo, should expect his quality from his time at Real Madrid to shine.

PSG is nearing deals for Osimhen and Neves.

Napoli striker Victor Osimhen and Benfica midfielder Joao Neves are expected to wrap up moves to PSG this week, after the French champions accelerated conversations around the duo over the weekend.

After losing Kylian Mbappe to Real Madrid and Joao Neves to Benfica, PSG is looking to add the Nigerian striker to their forward line to bolster their midfield as they pursue the Champions League.
