JUST IN: Man Utd to be offered “extraordinary” striker, he wants £200,000-a-week-Talks ongoing….
Manchester United are on course to be handed another opportunity to sign Dusan Vlahovic as the Juventus star is desperate to test himself in the Premier League and remains hopeful that head coach Ruben Amorim will pounce as he seeks fresh firepower at Old Trafford, GIVEMESPORT sources have revealed.
Although the Red Devils have already upgraded their attacking options with the acquisition of Matheus Cunha, thanks to the Brazilian completing a £62.5million switch from Wolverhampton Wanderers after his release clause was triggered, there is determination to secure further reinforcements.
An improved offer is being lined up for Bryan Mbeumo, after an opening proposal was rejected by Brentford during the initial 10-day transfer window, and Manchester United have a desire to bring in a centre forward capable of leapfrogging Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee in the pecking order.
Manchester United are set to be offered the chance to sign Vlahovic, according to GMS sources, as he is keen to head to England for the first time in his career after coming to terms with the fact that he is not in Juventus’ long-term plans and needs to move onto pastures new if he wants to secure regular game time.
Although the striker has been described as ‘extraordinary’ by former teammate Federico Bernardeschi, he is searching for an ideal destination as his current employers have made it clear that he is surplus to requirements ahead of the transfer window reopening for business next week.
GMS sources have been informed that Manchester United are in Vlahovic’s sights as a viable landing spot and, having racked up 20 goal contributions in all competitions during the 2024/25 campaign, he is confident that he has the ability to adjust to the rigours of the Premier League if given the opportunity.
The Red Devils highlighted that they are in the market for a new first-choice marksman thanks to attempting to win the race for Liam Delap following Ipswich Town’s relegation to the Championship, but they ended up being left frustrated as they discovered he had chosen to seal a move to Chelsea instead, while Sporting’s Viktor Gyokeres is on their radar.
Vlahovic is seeking a contract worth £200,000-per-week in his new surroundings, GMS sources have learned, and Manchester United are on course to have him pushed in their direction as intermediaries and his representatives are determined to find a solution ahead of next season.
