Manchester United Faces Potential Loss of £150M in Player Value

Contract Expirations Pose Financial Risk

Manchester United is facing a significant financial challenge as several key players' contracts are set to expire in summer 2026, potentially resulting in a loss of over £150 million (Rp 3.2 trillion) in player value. The club's ability to recover some of this value will depend heavily on their performance in the January transfer window.

Key Players at Risk

1. Harry Maguire (£80 million): The English defender's contract situation is particularly significant due to his high valuation.
2. Casemiro (£60 million): The Brazilian midfielder represents the second-largest potential loss for the club.
3. Tyrell Malacia (£13 million): While his transfer value is lower, Malacia has yet to make an appearance this season.
4. Tom Heaton (free transfer): The veteran goalkeeper is expected to retire rather than continue playing.

Recent Performance Resurgence

Both Maguire and Casemiro have experienced a resurgence in their performances under new manager Rúben Amorim. This improvement could potentially increase their transfer value or make them more attractive to retain. The January transfer window will be crucial for Manchester United to either negotiate new contracts or sell these players to recover some of the potential loss.
