“I Can’t Go Against My Client’s Wish” – Agent Confirms £80m World Cup Star Chooses Manchester United Over Bigger Paydays
In a dramatic transfer twist, Manchester United have beaten Premier League rivals to secure one of the most in-demand players in world football. Despite Liverpool and Chelsea offering larger financial packages, the £80m-rated World Cup hero has chosen Old Trafford, with his agent confirming the decision.
Speaking in a candid interview, the agent revealed:
“Liverpool and Chelsea both put forward fantastic offers, but my client told me he only wanted Manchester United. The money is less than what the other clubs offered, but I can’t go against his wishes. His heart is already in Old Trafford.”
This admission highlights that for the player, passion and prestige outweighed financial temptation. Already celebrated for his unforgettable World Cup heroics, he has opted for history and legacy over short-term riches.
A Statement of Intent
After a rocky start under Rúben Amorim, United have been under pressure to make a marquee signing. This deal — expected to be announced officially in the coming days — is a powerful message to fans and rivals alike: United still have the pulling power to attract the game’s biggest names.
The star will sign a four-year contract, even taking a pay cut to wear the iconic red shirt. For supporters, his decision reinforces the idea that Old Trafford is still a destination for players driven by ambition rather than just money.
Rivals Rejected
Chelsea were reportedly ready to hand the player a huge wage packet, while Liverpool saw him as central to Arne Slot’s rebuild. Yet, loyalty to his dream club left his agent with no option but to honor his choice.
The agent emphasized:
“This was never about money. My client wants to lead, to be part of Manchester United’s project, and to write his name into the club’s history.”
A Turning Point?
The move is being hailed as potentially transformative for United. Fans worldwide are already celebrating on social media, with some calling him the “signing of the decade” before he has even stepped onto the pitch.
For Amorim, it’s a huge boost. Not only does he gain a world-class player, but the deal also proves that United’s badge still carries unmatched weight in football, even if it means offering lower wages than their rivals.
