Transfer changes at Manchester United as Sir Jim Ratcliffe takes over
Posted : 31 October 2023
Manchester United's Erik ten Hag is expected to have a reduced role in transfers once Sir Jim Ratcliffe takes over football operations. The change aligns with Ratcliffe's desire for a structure similar to Manchester City's, with a sporting director playing a crucial role. Paul Mitchell, the former head of recruitment at Tottenham and recently at Monaco, is a leading candidate for this position.
In an effort to alleviate fixture congestion, the Carabao Cup semi-finals will likely be reduced to one leg from the next season. This change is part of a new £900 million funding package aimed at assisting lower-league clubs in the EFL, pending approval by Premier League clubs.
Real Madrid is considering making Kepa Arrizabalaga's loan deal permanent, although they are hesitant to pay more than £17.5 million for the goalkeeper. Thibaut Courtois's season-ending knee injury has prompted Real Madrid's interest in securing Kepa's services for the future, potentially involving a part-exchange deal with their No. 2 goalkeeper, Andriy Lunin.
Real Madrid scouts have shown interest in 17-year-old Shamrock Rovers talent Naj Razi. However, they may face competition from Premier League clubs, including Chelsea and Arsenal, who are also keen on the young Irish starlet.
