Manchester United are close to signing winger Amad Diallo to a new contract this week, having just scored the equaliser at Liverpool last weekend. All details of the new contract have been agreed upon, and it is expected that the official announcement will be completed within 24 hours.
The 22-year-old, who signed a contract with Manchester United that expires in June 2025, has been given a 12-month extension option but has not been used, and they have decided to sign him directly on a long-term contract. Diallo will receive a significant pay rise, commensurate with his importance to United's first team.
Premier League transfer expert Graeme Bailey has revealed that Diallo's weekly salary is higher than originally expected at £90,000, as his salary has been increased to around £120,000 due to his recent performances, four times the current £30,000 a week, and his contract will run until June 2030.
Diallo has emerged as United's absolute starter in recent months and is seen as a key player in new boss Ruben Amorim's plans for the future. Pelé added that a number of interested clubs have contacted Diallo, which has also boosted his bargaining chips, but his only interest is in a contract extension.
After scoring Liverpool's goal for Manchester United again, he kissed the team emblem to make him even more popular among Red Devils fans. The move even conquered the racists, with one netizen commenting: "Diallo's performance in this match is incredible, even as a racist, I would like to see more of him."
Italian transfer expert Fabrizio Romano said: "Diallo's new contract with Manchester United runs until 2030, with no one-year extension. He'll sign on Thursday. Although he has been contacted by two top clubs this month, the player only wants to stay and renew his contract with Manchester United."
If Diallo stays at United during his new five-and-a-half-year contract, he will be at the peak of his careerOld traffordSpend. His contract expires with 11 days to go before his 28th birthday, and he will be close to 10 years at Manchester United. Diallo inHe joined Manchester United from Atalanta in Serie A on 5 October 2020 for a total transfer fee of 40 million euros, and he officially signed a 5+1 contract on 7 January 2021.
Ahmad has been involved in 13 goals so far this season, the majority of which have been completed since November. He has failed to start in just one of United's last 10 Premier League games and set a club record by scoring a winner or equaliser in their last away game against Manchester City and Liverpool.
After completing Diallo's contract extension, United's next task is to renew the contract of Kobe Maynor, and the 19-year-old Academy midfielder will naturally receive a pay rise. Rumours of a £200,000-a-week salary and a possible move to Chelsea are hot this week, certainly a negotiating tactic, but there is no reason to think United will not be able to predict a contract extension. After witnessing Bruno Fernandes renew his £300,000 weekly salary and Diallo also received a £120,000 weekly salary, it is normal for Meno, who is the "household book", to want a higher income.
Pele predicts that United will give Meno £150,000 a week. Negotiations for his new contract took longer than United had hoped, with the first being before the end of last season. Talks are not expected to conclude immediately, but once Diallo's contract extension is announced, Mayno's contract situation will be a top priority for United.
