100 million transfer fee, 700,000 weekly salary, Saudi Arabia offers a B fee, and Manchester United wants to sell it to close the Champions League losses?

10:05pm, 25 May 2025Football

Chris Wheeler, a reporter from the Daily Mail, reported on the Saudi league quotation of B fees. This matter has a clear clause and related timeline: First, B fees must decide whether to join Saudi Arabia next week; secondly, Saudi Arabia issued a contract with a weekly salary of 700,000 pounds. Saudi Arabia's contract is tax-free, and compared with the Premier League, it is a weekly salary of 1.4 million, so the annual income of B fees can reach up to 65 million pounds. Third, Saudi Arabia is preparing to submit a £100 million offer to Manchester United.

If this transfer takes shape, this will be another maximum salary player provided by Manchester United to the Saudi League. There are not many players in the entire football world who can get a pure weekly salary of 700,000 and a weekly salary of 1.4 million before tax. From the UEFA Cup semi-finals and the UEFA Cup finals, news about the Saudi league quotation for B fees is rampant. So, should Manchester United sell it?

Cause of the incident: interest has been around for a long time

Inelis has been in Manchester United for a year and a half. Before the final of the FA Cup last year, Manchester United had rumored to sell McTominay to relieve PSR. As a result, McTominay left Manchester United, bringing Manchester United a transfer fee of 30 million euros, thus bringing Manchester United as a midfielder Ugater.

Before this year's Europa League semi-finals and finals, rumors that the Saudi League has contacted the B-Fuer team. At that time, many authoritative media denied the rumors, but head coach Amorin said something interesting in the face of the reporter's interview: "It is understandable that there are transfer rumors, because it is not only his game data, but also his game style. He is a top player and our captain. It is normal for them to want a B fee, but we will keep him."

This admits that the Saudi league quotes the B fee. The interesting situation is: B fee is the captain of Manchester United, and the Manchester United management has repeatedly confirmed that this is the core player of Manchester United's reconstruction. This matter should be well known. Why does the Saudi League dare to quote the B fee? If it is really the core, then Manchester United cannot sell it. Why does Saudi Arabia do useless work? It has been three years since the Saudi league chases B fee.

Manchester United's revenue: 100 million pounds less than the Champions League, and it is necessary to fill in the pit. After the UEFA Cup loss, many media have reported Manchester United's revenue losses next season. First of all, Manchester United has to pay 10 million pounds to its sponsors because it missed the Champions League for two consecutive seasons. Secondly, Manchester United's broadcast revenue will decrease by £70 million; then, Manchester United's game-day revenue will decrease by £25 million, and finally Manchester United's sponsorship revenue will decrease by £25 million.

This has been confirmed by Premier League finance expert Kieran Maguire. This is not Manchester United's central defender Harry Maguire. Kieran Maguire is a very famous financial expert in the Premier League. His news should not be wrong, so Manchester United's revenue will be reduced by at least 120 million pounds next season.

So what about Manchester United's spending? First of all, there is no Champions League this season, Manchester United's overall salary has been reduced by 25%, and there is no Champions League game next season, so it maintains a 25% salary cut. Secondly, Manchester United's other expenditures will not be reduced. The debt of 700 million pounds and the unpaid transfer fee of 300 million pounds will still have to be paid, and the financing costs will also need to be continued.

Manchester United has lost money for four consecutive seasons, and it is highly likely to be a loss this season. If there is no additional income next season, then Manchester United will lose money for six consecutive seasons next season, and the cumulative loss amount may be as high as 600 million pounds. Therefore, selling valuable players in the team has become the best way for Manchester United to draw accounts. B-fee departure can roughly tie Manchester United without any losses in the Champions League next season. After all, Saudi Arabia has quoted 100 million pounds.

B fee attitude: I am willing to go to

Manchester United sells B fee, but there is actually another reason. Three players in Manchester United have a weekly salary of more than 300,000 pounds, namely Casemiro, B Fee and Rashford. A weekly salary of 300,000 pounds means that Manchester United needs to pay 15.2 million pounds a year, and the three players are more than 45 million pounds, which is close to one-tenth of Manchester United's total revenue next season.

Therefore, selling high-paying players is one of the key points of Manchester United's summer window. Rashford wants to go to Barcelona, ​​Casemiro has stated that he will fulfill his contract this season, and B said after the UEFA Cup final, "If Manchester United needs transfer fee income, then he is willing to leave." The attitude is obvious. Except for Casemiro, all the high-paid players in Manchester United team have expressed their willingness to leave.

In fact, Casemiro should have definitely left. When Ratcliff first joined Manchester United, he publicly stated that Casemiro's signing was unreasonable and it was not appropriate to give an outdated star such a high weekly salary. Casemiro left in and out of the words.

If Casemiro, Rashford, B Fee, Anthony and Sancho all leave Manchester United in the summer window, then Manchester United's salary structure next season is very interesting. Except for Maguire + De Rigt, the weekly salary of other players is 150,000 pounds or less. This is not the salary allocation for the four teams in the Premier League, but the configuration of the mid-range teams in the Premier League.

BF's role in Manchester United: Ranking first in multiple data

BF's positioning in Manchester United is special. He joined Manchester United in January 2020. BF is a supplement to Martial + Rashford + Daniel James' Trident, that is, the player responsible for connecting the Trident. At that time, Manchester United's theme was: handing the ball to B, and B became the player with the most opportunities in the same period of joining the Premier League, more than De Bruyne.

Secondly, B Fee has a great Iron Man attribute. Manchester United has many injuries, and there are very few players who can do B Fee almost all attendance every season. Manchester United plays more than 55 games every season, and almost all B-fee games can be played..

Next, B Fei is one of the few players in Manchester United's frontcourt who can pass threatening balls. This is very obvious. Once B Fei cannot appear in the frontcourt, Manchester United's offense will be silent, which has been verified by countless games.

So, things have both good and bad sides. What are the weaker projects in Manchester United? The answer is definitely there. He has a strong sense of responsibility and is used to having balls under his feet, so he is used to receiving and getting balls everywhere when he leaves his position. This is not very tactical and disciplined. It is easy to play football according to his own habits in the game, rather than playing football according to tactics.

Secondly, if B receives the ball everywhere and changes the position everywhere, then he should be omnipotent, but B's pressing and defensive position selection have problems, and his mentality is prone to anxiety. Manchester United conceded 1 goal in the UEFA Cup final, which was caused by B Fei's passing in the frontcourt was intercepted by his opponent, so he launched a quick counterattack. Because B Fei lost the ball in the frontcourt, Manchester United lost the ball against the counterattack, which is very common.

Therefore, B Fee is a character that coexists with devils and angels, and his reputation is polarized among Manchester United fans. However, B Fee is one of the few top players in Manchester United after all.

Conclusion: Should it be sold?

fans should all have their own opinions, but Manchester United under Inez should not care too much about the views of the fans. Ratcliff is a businessman-born management team, so he will only consider Manchester United from a business perspective. The media reports on Saudi Arabia's quotation of B fees should be a release of the tone. Why? I have a criminal record. Before the final, I can do such a thing as Ineus. Before the FA Cup final, it also made a rumor that Manchester United was going to fire Teng Hach, regardless of the impact on the locker room.

So, I personally think that judging from the current news reports, it is highly likely that Manchester United will sell B fees. The reason for selling B fees is very simple, which is to make up for the loss of no Champions League next season.
