Premier League
Manchester United is considering the addition of Eliesse Ben Seghir to strengthen its attack in the winter market. The Manchester United transfer market will focus on bolstering its offense for the second part of the season.
As reported by Bild, the Moroccan international is entering his final months to establish himself at Leverkusen, a situation that the English sports management intends to exploit to negotiate a transfer valued between his estimated 21.8 million euros and the 30 million euros invested by the German club.

Ben Seghir's Situation at Leverkusen and Fit
The 21-year-old forward joined Leverkusen in September 2025 for 30 million euros, signing a contract that expires on June 30, 2030. Despite having 20 international appearances and 3 goals with the Moroccan national team, lack of playing time in the Bundesliga has reduced his market value to 20 million euros on Transfermarkt, paving the way for a negotiated exit.
A report by the specialized platform SciSports awarded Michael Carrick's team a club adjustment score of 79 points— the highest in the Premier League ahead of Fulham and Chelsea— highlighting a five-star rating for the player's development potential.
Negotiation Conditions between Manchester United and Leverkusen
Bayer Leverkusen's management aims to recoup the investment made twelve months ago, hence would reject transfer proposals below the estimated 21.8 million euros. However, both parties are willing to engage in discussions if the initial offer is around 25 million euros.
For Michael Carrick, the arrival of the winger would add depth to the flanks without exceeding the club's spending limits. The player's profile fits the squad restructuring project following the prior signings of Youri Tielemans and Andrey Santos.
Manchester United scouts will monitor the player's performances in Bundesliga matches during October and November 2026. The Manchester United board plans to officially contact Leverkusen executives in December 2026 to finalize the transfer conditions before the transfer window opens.
