The Red Devils are closing in on the £71m signing of Bryan Mbeumo as their summer transfer window finally gathers momentum.
Manchester United hope to wrap up the long-anticipated signing of Bryan Mbeumo in the coming days – but the club’s summer business is far from over, with another major deal in the works involving Valencia star Javi Guerra.
The Red Devils have reportedly struck a verbal agreement with the talented 22-year-old midfielder, who has made waves in LaLiga for his ball-carrying ability, long-range shooting, and calmness under pressure.
According to Italian journalist Daniele Longo, Guerra is now leaning towards rejecting a contract renewal at Valencia in favour of a move to Old Trafford – despite the lack of a formal club-to-club agreement at this stage.

The news comes as Manchester United gear up for a major shake-up under boss Ruben Amorim, who has had a frustrating start to the transfer window. So far, only Matheus Cunha has arrived – and that signing was officially confirmed 49 days ago. But things are now accelerating, with Mbeumo’s £71m move from Brentford close to completion, and Guerra looking increasingly likely to follow.
Guerra’s potential arrival is perfectly timed for a club in transition. With Christian Eriksen already out the door and Casemiro’s future up in the air as his contract enters its final year, Amorim is eyeing midfield reinforcements to suit his 3-4-2-1 system. Guerra could be the ideal long-term fit as a ball-winning yet elegant operator capable of playing in both deep and advanced midfield roles.
Box-to-Box Brilliance: Who is Javi Guerra?
Javi Guerra may not yet be a household name, but his playing style is tailor-made for the Premier League. Standing at 6ft 2in, the Spaniard combines physical presence with finesse.

Jude Bellingham: When Real Madrid Star is Expected Back After Shoulder Surgery
The England star has been experiencing shoulder problems since late 2023, and he is due for surgery.
His ability to glide past opposition lines with smooth dribbling, burst forward with vertical runs, and launch attacks with accurate long passes makes him a highly versatile threat.
Guerra is equally effective in defensive phases, using intelligent positioning and smart anticipation to break up play without the need for rash tackles. While he is not the most aggressive in duels, his calmness and composure set him apart from other young midfielders. He can shoot with both feet from distance, showing the sort of technical quality that could help unlock stubborn Premier League defences.
Valencia had hoped to tie him down with a new deal, but with United’s interest now advanced and the player seemingly set on the move, the Spanish club may be forced to negotiate a transfer.

Arsenal Transfer Target Eberechi Eze Reveals Brutal Gunners Snub That Left Him in Tears Twice
Eberechi Eze always wanted to play for Arsenal, but a ruthless decision by the club -who are now actively pursuing him - back when he was only 13 left him crying on two painfully separate occassions.
But a move for Emi Martinez remains contingent on Andre Onana’s future, it’s clear that United are no longer sitting still in the market. With Guerra and Mbeumo both poised to bring energy, dynamism, and quality into Amorim’s new-look squad, United fans finally have reasons for optimism heading into the 2025/26 campaign.
The summer may have started slowly, but with two transfers nearing completion and a third possibly on the way, Manchester United's transfer window is roaring to life at last.
