There are media reports from Turkey suggesting an imminent proposal from Manchester United for Kerem Akturkoglu.

Man United manager, Erik ten Hag, is targeting a January swoop for Turkish duo, Kerem Aktürkoğlu and Orkun Kökçü. Both clubs had scouts watching the pair during Turkey’s recent match against Iceland. Benfica don’t plan to sell either player in January, though an offer of around €70 million for both might change the club’s mind.

Manchester United is reportedly keeping a close watch on Kerem Akturkoglu, who has made an impressive start at Benfica. According to Sports Digitale, Manchester United is said to be preparing an offer between 35 to 40 million euros to convince Benfica to part with Akturkoglu. The player was initially acquired from Galatasaray for 12 million euros plus bonuses and a 10% future sale profit clause. Due to FIFA regulations, any potential transfer to Manchester United could only take place in the 2025/26 season, as Akturkoglu has already played for Galatasaray this season.

Following his performance against Atletico Madrid, where he scored a goal in the UEFA Champions League, reports from Fichajes suggest that Manchester United has added Kerem Aktürkoğlu to their transfer list. The player has been impressive for Benfica, scoring 4 goals and providing 2 assists in 5 matches.
