Manchester United are reportedly contemplating making a shock move to sign Dominic Calvert-Lewin on a free transfer after his departure from Everton. With financial caution dictating this summer’s recruitment strategy, Amorim is believed to be keen on bolstering the squad with low-risk, high-upside signings, with Calvert-Lewin fitting the bill perfectly.
- United eager to bolster their attack
- Have set their sights on Calvert-Lewin
- High wage demands could be a complication
WHAT HAPPENED?
According to The Sun, early talks have taken place regarding a switch to Old Trafford, which would bring the ex-Toffees frontman back to the Premier League spotlight after a turbulent few seasons. While no longer at his peak, the 27-year-old's profile still appeals to Amorim. Between 2019 and 2021, the England international was among the league’s most promising centre-forwards, notching double-digit goal returns in consecutive campaigns.
THE BIGGER PICTURE
United believe his blend of physicality, aerial strength, and Premier League experience makes him a valuable asset, particularly in a squad that lacks a dominant presence up top. Amorim, who is overseeing a squad rebuild, is also planning a substantial clear-out in the attacking department. Current forwards Rasmus Højlund, Marcus Rashford, Alejandro Garnacho, Jadon Sancho, and Antony have all reportedly been made available for transfer. If United succeed in selling multiple attackers, a spot could open up for a striker comfortable in a rotational or backup role, an opening that Calvert-Lewin could fill.
DID YOU KNOW?
Despite initial interest, INEOS have reportedly paused discussions due to Calvert-Lewin’s hefty wage demands. According to journalist Ben Jacobs, the striker is seeking a significant pay rise from the £100,000-per-week salary he earned at Everton, leveraging his free-agent status for a lucrative contract. While the Red Devils are prepared to offer performance-related bonuses to mitigate financial risk, they remain hesitant to meet the full demands unless other targets fall through or Calvert-Lewin reduces his expectations later in the window.
WHAT NEXT?
With Matheus Cunha likely to lead the line and United still pursuing Bryan Mbeumo, Calvert-Lewin would not be expected to start regularly but could provide vital depth. Both sides stand to benefit as United get a veteran striker without a transfer fee, and the 28-year-old gains a fresh start at a top club with ambitions to return to domestic prominence.
