Manchester United have reportedly added Ibrahim Sangaré to their summer transfer shortlist as the club looks to strengthen its midfield preparing for the end of Casemiro era. The 28-year-old Ivorian has drawn attention for his commanding presence at Nottingham Forest, where his blend of physicality and tactical intelligence has stood out in the Premier League.
Sangaré, who joined Forest in 2023 for an estimated €35 million, has quickly become a key figure in the squad. His ability to dominate the midfield both defensively and offensively has not gone unnoticed, prompting Manchester United to consider a move to secure his services.
Sources indicate that Forest are prepared to open negotiations at a higher valuation, with initial discussions expected in the €45–50 million range. The club is aware of Sangaré’s rising profile and the potential difficulty of losing such a pivotal player midway through their Premier League campaign.
For Manchester United, adding Sangaré would fit into a broader strategy to rebuild the midfield, blending experience with dynamic physicality to complement their existing squad. The Premier League side are reportedly keen to conclude negotiations ahead of the 2026–27 season, ensuring they have reinforcements in place before the campaign kicks off.
With the Ivorian midfielder continuing to impress, the transfer saga is expected to become a major talking point in the summer window as United look to secure the boost they need in central midfield.
