Olmo, De Jong, Kounde, Balde: Man United told three of their four targets will be available in January

Manchester United has reportedly informed three of their four desired targets – Alejandro Balde, Frenkie de Jong, and Jules Kounde – that they remain available for potential transfer in January. The news comes after the club identified these players as possible successors to current star player Bruno Fernandes, whose contract expires next year.

United appears to be in a race against time to secure a suitable replacement for Fernandes, who has become an integral part of the team since joining in 2020. The Dutch playmaker has missed only six games due to injury during his tenure, making his presence on the field an invaluable asset.

While Olmo's future at Barcelona remains uncertain, recent reports from The Peoples Person suggest that the Catalan club may have little motivation to offload him in the upcoming transfer window. Olmo, who has formed an integral part of Barcelona’s attack, has been linked with a move to Old Trafford, but sources indicate that any potential sale could be premature.
