Manchester United have no intention of selling Ivory Coast international Amad Diallo this summer despite interest from several clubs, with the winger remaining a key part of the club’s long-term plans.
The 24-year-old has been linked with a move away from Old Trafford in recent weeks, with Premier League sides Newcastle United and Brighton & Hove Albion among the clubs reported to be monitoring his situation.
However, according to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Manchester United have made their position clear, insisting Diallo is not for sale during the current transfer window.
The decision represents another vote of confidence in one of Africa’s emerging talents, with the Ivorian winger viewed as an important figure in United’s sporting project.
Diallo has been under contract at Old Trafford since arriving from Italian side Atalanta in January 2021. His current deal runs until 2030, while the club also holds the option to extend the agreement by an additional year.
The length of the contract underlines Manchester United’s commitment to the player despite continued speculation over his future.
Interest in the winger has increased following his performances over the past two seasons.
Although reports suggest his progress slowed after a breakout 2024-25 campaign, Diallo remained an important member of the first-team squad during the 2025-26 season.
He made 33 appearances across all competitions, scoring two goals and providing four assists as he continued to establish himself in Manchester United’s senior team.
Diallo also represented Ivory Coast at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, adding further international experience to his growing résumé.
His performances for both club and country have attracted attention from rival clubs seeking to strengthen their attacking options ahead of the new season.
Newcastle United have been mentioned among the clubs exploring the possibility of signing the winger as they continue reshaping their squad. Brighton & Hove Albion have also been linked with the Ivorian, according to reports.
However, Manchester United’s stance appears unequivocal.
The club’s hierarchy have informed interested parties that Diallo is not available for transfer, effectively closing the door on a summer departure.
The decision suggests United see the winger as part of their plans for the coming seasons rather than a player available on the market.
For African football, the development is another sign of Diallo’s growing status on the European stage.
Having made the transition from Atalanta to one of England’s biggest clubs, the Ivory Coast international has steadily built his reputation through regular first-team football and appearances at the highest level of international competition.
Remaining at Manchester United also provides him with another opportunity to continue his development at Old Trafford, where he hopes to secure an even more influential role in the seasons ahead.
While transfer speculation is unlikely to disappear completely before the window closes, Manchester United’s position leaves little doubt about their intentions.
Unless the club changes its stance, Diallo looks set to continue his journey in the Premier League, with the Red Devils determined to retain one of Ivory Coast’s brightest football talents.
