Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s deal to buy 25 per cent of Manchester United is in final negotiations.



Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s deal to buy 25 per cent of Manchester United was in final negotiations on Thursday night. The Ineos team and Glazer family are understood to have been working all week to try to complete the paperwork in order to start the process of approvals though, even if concluded on Friday, it will be weeks into the New Year before it can be fully ratified by the Premier League and other regulators.

The complications of how to split authority between the sporting side and commercial business are thought to be among the reasons why talks have taken so long, with staff battling to tie up countless details and legalities.

There had been suggestions of a three-man board of Ratcliffe, Joel Glazer and Sir Dave Brailsford on the footballing side, giving Ineos a CASTING VOTE, but the final settlement is likely to give the petrochemicals billionaire FULL SAY on any major football decisions such as transfers and the future of Erik ten Hag, the manager.

Approval for the deal, with the Premier League needing to ratify and Uefa also involved in discussions given that Ineos also own OGC Nice, could take another four to six weeks so Ineos would not be taking formal control of transfers until after the January transfer window. [Times Sport]

Thats all irrelevent. The club will know that INEOS/SJR will get approved so any business done in January will be done on their say so anyway even if its not officially completed

PSG are not considering Jadon Sancho or Casemiro in January despite some links. Sancho has been discussed historically but nothing came of it. Main window work done in the form of Gabriel Moscardo and Lucas Beraldo.

| Joe Hugill is expected to sign a new contract after impressing Ten Hag. #mufc are considering a loan move in the January transfer window and could then assess his position in the squad in the summer. [Samuel Luckhurst, MEN]

| BREAKING:

#mufc have decided against triggering an option to extend Raphael Varane's contract by 12 months, leaving the defender free to hold talks with foreign clubs over a summer transfer from tomorrow.

[@MattHughesDM]

| #mufc regard Raphael Varane's current £340,000-a-week wages as hard to justify given his injury problems. Triggering the extension in his contract would have kept Varane on similarly high wages, and the club want to renegotiate fresh terms. [@MattHughesDM]

Understand Steven Bergwijn is one of the top targets for West Ham in the January transfer window in case they will be able to find budget after outgoings. More PL and Saudi clubs are also keen on Bergwijn as he could leave Ajax in case of good proposal.

My understanding on Bobby Firmino is that Al-Ahli haven't yet received any formal offers, but a loan to a Premier League club is now possible.
