Manchester United has included Charalampos Kostoulas on their agenda as one of the candidates to strengthen their forward line for the future. The next Manchester United's transfer market will focus on adding more resources in the offensive zone.

The Old Trafford board is tracing the steps of the Greek international, encountering an asking price set by his club between 60 and 70 million euros.

Manchester United goes after Charalampos Kostoulas

The emergence of Charalampos Kostoulas at Brighton and his rise in the Premier League

The 19-year-old forward arrived at Brighton in July 2025 from Olympiacos for 35 million euros, signing a contract until June 2030. Following an initial season of adaptation where he recorded 2 goals and 1 assist in 21 league games, the striker has netted 4 goals and provided 3 assists in 8 matches played at the start of the 2026-2027 season, notably shining with a goal and assist in the 3-0 victory against Arsenal on September 19.

Despite his market value being 25.00 million euros on Transfermarkt and 27 million euros on Sofascore, Brighton's management is not looking to let him go and demands almost double the investment made a year prior.

The fierce competition between Manchester United and Europe's top clubs

Manchester United's interest in the 5-time Greek international aligns with the monitoring being done by Arsenal, Chelsea, and Newcastle United within the Premier League. The London team had already inquired about him in 2025 before his transfer to the Sussex side, while outside the UK, Inter Milan is keeping tabs on his progress, and Real Madrid gathered reports on his profile in 2024.

Manchester United's sports management believes that the striker's growth potential justifies thorough monitoring before submitting a formal financial proposal.

Manchester United's strategy to complete the deal

Manchester United's board is analyzing the financial viability to handle a transfer that could reach 70 million euros. The projected departure of a secondary striker in the squad would free up the salary space necessary to accommodate the Greek player's wage.

Manchester executives intend to leverage the good institutional relationship with the player's circle to position themselves first if the selling club agrees to negotiate.

Manchester United's scouts will personally attend Charalampos Kostoulas' matches in the Premier League during October and November 2026.

If the Greek forward continues to perform at a high level in the Premier League, Manchester United will start moving to secure his signing in the upcoming transfer windows.
