‘Manchester United are coming’ – Red Devils ready to offer ‘lot of money’ for big signing

Manchester United have prioritised strengthening their midfield this summer, after Casemiro’s departure.

The Premier League side’s need to improve this position has further increased following a serious injury to Manuel Ugarte.

Manchester United made advances to sign Mateus Fernandes from West Ham United but lost him to Tottenham Hotspur.

The situation has forced the Red Devils to look at other options, like Real Madrid star Aurélien Tchouameni. Two weeks ago, Sport Witness relayed news that there’s strong interest in the 26-year-old.

Manchester United to make approach soon 

AS pick up on that and claim ‘Manchester United are coming’ for the Real Madrid man.

The France international joined Los Blancos from AS Monaco, weeks before Casemiro’s move to Old Trafford in 2022.

Michael Carrick’s side consider signing the midfielder this summer crucial for their project. Therefore, they are prepared to ‘put a lot of money’ on the table to bring Aurélien Tchouameni to Old Trafford.

However, his desire is to continue in Madrid and he’s already made this clear. That hasn’t put off Manchester United, probably the Spanish giants could open the exit door for him.

Real Madrid are waiting to see how things develop and have set a €100m price.

AS claims first contact, likely between the two clubs, could take place in the next few days. They aren’t optimistic about the player joining the Premier League side.

The newspaper ends the report by stating: ‘For now, it seems like a distant dream for United, but everything could change.’

Concrete interest from Manchester United 

Sportitalia journalist Gianluigi Longari took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to back up the English club’s ‘strong interest’.

He further adds Manchester United will make first contact with Real Madrid for Aurélien Tchouameni. This will be done with an intention to ‘move the negotiations into the final phase’.

The Frenchman has a contract until 2028, and Transfermarkt value him at €70m. His agent also manages Manchester United’s Bryan Mbeumo and whether that connection can help is unclear.
