Manchester United’s summer transfer business will continue the move of highly rated Botafogo goalkeeper John Victor as the Red Devils look to add more depth and competition to the goalkeeping division ahead of the 2025/26 season.
United are already making a significant move, securing Masteus Cunha from the Wolverhampton Wanderers while high-level negotiations are underway with Winger Bryan Mbemo’s Brentford.
After a poor season in the 2024/25 season, Reuben Amorim is looking to add more depth and quality to his team, who finished 15th in the Premier League last season.
Man United wants Brazilian goalkeeper John Victor
Currently, according to Brazilian outlet Meiahora, United are preparing to officially bid for Botafogo’s Victor. The consistent performance in Brazil has attracted attention from several European clubs.
Victor has a release clause of just £5.86 million and he continues to look for new additions to his team, so he has added a bargain that is appealing and bargain for United.
Man United are looking for a new goalkeeper who can provide Andre Onana with a competition next season.
Onana had another difficult season with the club, making some high-profile errors in the Premier League and Europa League.
Reuben Amorim needs reliable options at goal
United’s second choice goalkeeper Altay Bayindir struggles to impress during his limited opportunities, and his potential exit could pave the way for Victor’s arrival.
The Brazilian signature will provide Onana with healthy competition and keep him on his toes.
For Victor, the move to Old Trafford represents a dream step, giving him a platform to show off his talent in the Premier League for one of the world’s biggest clubs.
The goalkeeper has attracted the attention of European clubs this summer at the Club World Cup, and given his low release clause, he could be a clever signature for the Red Devils.
