"Manchester United have identified Papa Gueye as their target and are willing to offer Villarreal €60 million. The 27-year-old midfielder came through Le Havre's academy before joining Olympique Marseille in 2020. He then moved to Villarreal in 2024 and has recorded eight goals and one assist in 64 appearances."
"Gueye can play as a defensive or a central midfielder. He is good at making recoveries, but also known for his line-breaking passes and helping in build up. His contract with Villarreal will expire in 2028. Gueye has also earned 39 caps for Senegal, helping them win the Africa Cup of Nations twice."
"The Red Devils signed Casemiro from Real Madrid for a reported fee of €70 million in 2022. He's made 151 appearances for them, contributing 22 goals and 14 assists, helping them win the Carabao Cup and the FA Cup. Hence, replacing him would be a big task for the club."
Manchester United seeks a replacement for Casemiro, who departs as a free agent after four years. The club has identified Papa Gueye, a 27-year-old midfielder at Villarreal, as a primary target with an estimated €60 million offer. Gueye, who progressed through Le Havre's academy before joining Marseille and later Villarreal in 2024, operates as a defensive or central midfielder with strengths in ball recovery and line-breaking passes. He has recorded eight goals and one assist across 64 appearances for Villarreal and earned 39 caps for Senegal, winning the Africa Cup of Nations twice. Multiple European clubs have expressed interest following his strong 2025-26 campaign with Villarreal currently third in LaLiga.
