Tyrell Malacia could be the next Manchester United player to exit Old Trafford, with a concrete bid from a Saudi Pro League club now on the table.
According to Voetbal International, the Dutch defender is in active discussions with an unnamed Saudi club, who have submitted a formal proposal. The offer is said to be in the region of €7 million, and Malacia is seriously considering it.
This marks the first concrete approach for the 25-year-old this summer, despite some interest from European clubs.
Saudi Deal Could Accelerate Malacia’s Exit
The Saudi club has reportedly indicated they will proceed with a full bid once Malacia gives the green light. As it stands, negotiations are already underway between the player’s representatives and the Gulf side.
Malacia has just one year left on his contract at United and is not part of Rúben Amorim’s plans for the upcoming season.
“The first real offer came from Saudi Arabia, and the player is now in talks,” reports *Voetbal International*.
Malacia Among United’s “Exit Group”
The former Feyenoord man is one of five players Manchester United have made available for transfer this summer, alongside:
- Marcus Rashford (now at Barcelona)
- Antony
- Jadon Sancho
- Alejandro Garnacho
Malacia, who joined United in 2022, has struggled with injuries and form, falling out of favour under Amorim and making just three appearances last season.

Analyst View: A Move That Makes Sense for All Parties
Malacia is clearly not in Amorim’s future plans, and with only one year left on his deal, United are happy to cash in.
A Saudi move would offer Malacia regular football, a financial boost, and a clean slate — while also clearing salary and squad space at United.
Key Insights
- Saudi club has made formal offer for Tyrell Malacia
- Manchester United open to €7m deal this summer
- Malacia in talks over personal terms
- Out of favour under new manager Rúben Amorim
- One of five players listed for sale by the club
What’s Next for Malacia and United?
If Malacia agrees to personal terms, the Saudi club is expected to formalise the transfer swiftly. United would accept the bid without hesitation as they look to trim the squad and focus on Amorim’s rebuild.
Expect movement on this deal within days, especially if no European offers arrive to match or exceed the Saudi proposal.
Should United accept the €7m and move Malacia on — or could he still offer value under Amorim?
