Rangers and Manchester United are in talks over a move for young player Hannibal Mejbri, but both clubs may need to compromise to make the transfer happen, according to TEAMtalk.
Mejbri joined Manchester United’s academy in 2019 from Monaco despite interest from Bayern Munich, Paris Saint-Germain, and Barcelona. The midfielder represented France at U16 and U17 level before switching allegiances to Tunisia in 2021. He joined United for a fee of around £4.2m, potentially rising to £8.4m in add-ons.
Mejbri spent the 2022/23 season on loan at Birmingham City, where he impressed, making 41 appearances for the Championship side. He made 10 appearances for Manchester United across all competitions last season, but never quite established himself as a first-team regular. He was then loaned to La Liga side Sevilla until the end of the season, where Everton were keen on bringing him to Goodison Park, but the move did not go through. He was ostracized from the first team by then-manager Flores within weeks of joining Sevilla on loan, making just six appearances in total.
TEAMtalk have revealed that Rangers are looking to sign Mejbri on loan with a view to a permanent deal. However, Manchester United are looking for a permanent sale. Talks have been positive, but Rangers are unlikely to meet United’s £7m asking price.
