According to a report by Turkish journalist Ekrem Konur, Jeremy Monga is the subject of interest of Manchester United. The 16-year-old Leicester City attacking sensation is a hot property in the market, with Barcelona, Chelsea, and Newcastle United, among others, also keen on securing his services next year.
Jeremy Monga is the latest highly-rated wonderkid to rise in prominence in his homeland. Clubs in England continue to produce promising prodigies, and Monga made his Premier League bow last season. A native of Coventry, the teenage sensation has spent his formative years thus far with Leicester City, and he has been a regular in the EFL Championship this term.
The 16-year-old has amassed over 500 minutes of game time thus far in 12 appearances across all competitions in the 2025/26 season, chipping in with one goal and one assist. Meanwhile, Monga’s progress has not gone unnoticed, capturing the attention of several high-profile clubs. Barcelona, Chelsea, Newcastle United, and Manchester United are among the prospective suitors vying for the English wonderkid.
Barcelona’s interest in the Leicester City attacking sensation is understandable. The Catalan giants constantly scour the market for highly-rated prospects, and many have graduated to the senior setup during Joan Laporta’s current presidency tenure. So, it is hardly surprising that an attacking prospect like Monga has emerged as a target for Barcelona.
Meanwhile, Jeremy Monga has been on Chelsea’s radar for a long time. The continued interest is understandable, as the Blues have focused on prising away the world’s best young prospects since BlueCo took over from Roman Abramovich. As for Manchester United, the Red Devils have one of the finest academies in England.
However, they never shy away from signing highly-rated prodigies from other clubs. So, it is hardly surprising that Monga has emerged as a target for Manchester United. As for Newcastle United, the Magpies have also focused on pursuing prospects to safeguard their future, and Monga is one of the promising talents in England.
Apart from these four bigwigs, Atletico Madrid, Juventus, Tottenham Hotspur, and Manchester City are also keen on signing the 16-year-old English attacking sensation. So, Leicester City will face an uphill task to retain Monga’s services for the long haul.
