Rasmus Hojlund is reportedly on FC Bayern Munich’s summer shortlist as the German side target a world-class striker.

The German side are in a similar position to Manchester United, with No.9 being their summer priority. Much like the Reds, interest in Harry Kane has waned due to a reluctance to play alongside Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy.

Hojlund enjoyed a promising season at Atalanta, scoring nine goals in 32 Serie A games. However, the 20-year-old’s most exciting performances came on international duty, where the striker scored five goals in four games international. Therefore, BILD’s Christian Falk reports that Bayern have added the frontman to their shortlist, seeing him as a cheaper alternative with higher development potential. He means Bayern could once again compete with the Reds for a big move after seemingly winning the race for defender Kim Min-jae.

Erik ten Hag backs Man Utd to win the FA Cup and end City’s treble.

Elsewhere, Calciomercato reports that United are interested in Juventus defender Gleison Bremer but are expected to pay $51m (€60m) to sign him.

Erik ten Hag is expected to bring a centre-back to Old Trafford, with previous links to Bayern-beaten Kim Min-jae Jurrien Timber and Axel Disasi. The future of current squad member Harry Maguire remains uncertain as the 30-year-old fears losing his place in England due to a lack of regular football.

The final point of interest would be Bremer, the 26-year-old Brazilian who joined Juventus from Turin last summer after being named Serie A Defender of the Year for the 2021/2022 season.

Bremer has made 43 appearances for Juventus this season and won three caps for Brazil

Recently Fabrizio Romano provides update on Man Utd takeover of Sheik Jassim

Future Manchester United owner Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al Thani is still awaiting a response to his recent offer to buy the Old Trafford side, Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano has exclusively told GIVEMESPORT.

The Glazers have received several offers to buy from the Red Devils in recent months but have yet to greenlight a preferred bidder.

Man Utd Takeover News – Latest

According to Sky Sports, Sheikh Jassim made his fifth bid to buy Manchester United last week in the latest attempt to get the better of INEOS chairman Sir Jim Ratcliffe.
The Qataris’ bid for a 100 per cent stake in the club’s stands, which would see the Glazers freed from their ownership, is expected to please Manchester United fans who have at times protested against their American owners.

Earlier this week, Al-Watan reported (via The Mirror) that Sheikh Jassim was successful in his bid to buy the outfit from Old Trafford, before editor Fahed Al Emadi clarified the claim by saying: “Al Watan does not belong to Hamad. bin Jassim bin Jaber Al Thani and Al Watan’s media report yesterday speculating on possible moves in the Manchester United takeover process were based on international media reports, as noted in the article itself. same, and this news circulated steadily for many months. international media.

Romano also told GIVEMESPORT that INEOS, like Sheikh Jassim, are still unaware of the development of their latest bid and the Glazers are keeping both sides in the dark.
And the journalist claimed that despite waiting on both sides, “there is still no agreement”. What did Romano say about Man Utd?

Romano told GIVEMESPORT: “On the Qatar side, they are still waiting. They can only wait. They made that offer. We know at this point there is no deal yet, but they are waiting and waiting. What future for Man Utd and Sheikh Jassim?
After upping his offer last week, Sheikh Jassim seems unable to do anything but wait for the Glazers to give him or Ratcliffe the green light ahead of a possible takeover.

The lack of clarity will not only frustrate potential owners, but also head coach Erik ten Hag, who had hoped an ownership change would have taken place before the summer transfer window opened.
After qualifying for next season’s Champions League and winning the Carabao Cup, the Dutchman needs cash to bolster his Red Devils squad as they face a possible Premier League title bid from Manchester City next season.
As such, it is a rapidly evolving process and could irritate people inside and outside Old Trafford, adding to the frustration over the Glazers’ tenure at Manchester United.

Is Man Utd’s takeover situation a concern?

No one will be more concerned about the lack of movement on a takeover than Manchester United head coach Erik ten Hag, who will have hoped to receive backing in the summer transfer window ahead of an assault on the Premier League title next season.

The Dutchman secured the Red Devils’ first trophy since 2017 this season, having beaten Newcastle United in February’s Carabao Cup Final, but was a beaten finalist in the FA Cup, losing 2-1 at the expense of local rivals Manchester City.

However, having secured a place in the Premier League’s top four, ten Hag’s side welcome Champions League football back to Old Trafford after this season’s absence and will look to make their mark in Europe’s premier club competition next term.

Transfer News: Man United now target £26m ‘chameleon’ who is ‘amazing goal threat’

Manchsteг United and Admiгeгs of Bayeгn Munich midfield Leon Goгetzka while Eik Ten Hag looks set to bolster his midfield with some quality additions tɦis summeг, suggested reporter Dean Jones.
What’s the latest tгansfeг news about Mancɦesteг United and Leon Goгetzka?
According to German Sky journalist Floгian Plettbeгg, Mancɦesteг United and Goгetzka as a potential alternative to Declan гice, he was also a goal for the Devils window.

On Twitter, Plettbeгg said: “Goгetzka news: Man Utd is monitoring the situation! MUFC understands that it is future and uncertain because of the ice. But still no concrete talk about the negotiations. Goгetzka remains calm and his position is clear: ɦe absolutely wants to stay because ɦe identifies 100% with FC Bayeгn! E: гummenigge supports ɦim».

Like Tɦe Daily Mail, Bayelyn Municɦ is also enthusiastic about West ɦam United’s battle in midfield, potentially creating a domino effect; Today, Tɦe Guaгdian ɦave since he revealed that 24-year-old tɦat tɦe could move to Aгsenal in a £100m deal.

In 2022/23 Goгetzka, hailed as a “chameleon” and an “incredible goal” by the Bundesliga, made 40 appearances for Bayeгn Municɦ in all competitions and managed to score six goals and six assists, as peг Tгansfeгmaг kt .

In this column on GIVEMESPOгT, journalist Jones writes as indicated that Goгetzka is definitely a theater actor loved by the cɦiefs of Old Tгaffoгd. Jones suggested: “They also have to choose the midfielder as Macel Sabitze was on loan last season and the Fed and Scott McTominay have agreed to leave their contract once and for all.” We saw them at Mason Mount having made great strides but watch out for the likes of Goméo Lavia. Other players look up to £230,000-a-week star Leon Goetzka – who is described as an ‘extremist’ player – Declanice and Adien Gabiot, but top target Fénkie De Jong is taboo.

Who else have Manchester United been linked to?

Mancasteste United have been linked with several players this week as England signings begin and Cɦelsea midfielder Mason Mount has emerged as a key target, with an offer for the England national team, like Sky Spoëts, expected . Napoli defender Kim Min-jae is also on the pitch for Old Taffo and has been chosen as a favorite target for this off-season, Foot Mecato reported on ESPN.
Sky Spoëts also claims that the Atalanta forward is identified as Mancastle United’s attacking spokesman, making a bid for Tottenham’s Talisman and Agar Kane unlikely.

Ten ɦag will be delighted to see if he can build a team capable of challenging for the Pémie-Liga title next season, and Mancɦeste United fans will be delighted to see the club’s young age actively transfeg-market involved.

The 10 biggest transfers in Europe in the 2023 summer transfer window

The 2023 summer transfer window is yet to officially open but that hasn’t stopped clubs from doing some big deals. Brighton have already made a record signing with money received from Liverpool.

Here are the biggest deals so far. Players are ranked by size of the initial fee, with add-ons stated.

All the summer’s Premier League deals are here.

1) Pedro Porro (Sporting Lisbon to Tottenham) – £39m

The Portugal right-back became Tottenham’s property having initially joined the club on loan on deadline day in January. He cost £5million for half a season, in which time he played for three different managers, and Spurs were obligated to pay another £39million this summer. Porro is primarily a wing-back so let’s see if he can play in a back four for Ange Postecoglou.

2) Alexis Mac Allister (Brighton to Liverpool) – £35million plus £20m add-ons

Brighton and Liverpool kept the fee under their hats but some Liverpool fans want you to believe they bagged the World Cup winner for the cost of a Tesco meal deal. We have to assume that if Mac Allister is a success, then the Reds will be liable for around £55million, which could still turn out to be a bargain, especially if he adapts to playing a deeper role.

3) Joao Pedro (Watford to Brighton) – £30m

Brighton didn’t wait for the end of the season to get Pedro signed, or for the Mac Allister money to clear in their account, before announcing a club-record deal three weeks before the end of the season. The Seagulls welcomed ‘a brilliant young talent’ and many Watford fans concur.

4) Giacomo Raspadori (Sassuolo to Napoli) – £25.8million

The Italy forward has already won a Scudetto with Napoli having spent last season on loan. The Serie A champions are obligated to cough up €30million to keep Raspadori having paid €5million to borrow the 23-year-old for a year.

5) Terem Moffi (Lorient to Nice) – £25.8million

West Ham and Bournemouth both wanted Moffi in January but the Nigerian forward opted instead for Nice, who must pay €30million having borrowed him since January. Lorient will also bank 15 % of whatever fee Nice might receive for the 24-year-old, who scored six goals in 16 appearances through the second half of the Ligue 1 season.

6) Hamed Traore (Sassuolo to Napoli) – £21million

Along with Raspadori, Sassuolo also loaned out Traore, this time for the second half of the season in anticipation of banking another fat cheque from Bournemouth. The midfielder only played seven games but, two games before the end of the season, the Cherries said: “Conditions within the original loan agreement have been reached, and the Ivorian is now contracted until June 2028.”

7) Benjamin Sesko (RB Salzburg to RB Leipzig) – £20m

Manchester United were interested – some reports suggest they still are – but Sesko agreed last August to stay under Red Bull’s wing, swapping Salzburg for Leipzig. The Germans will reportedly pay £20million for the 19-year-old, though they may welcome the opportunity to flip the forward swiftly if United or Newcastle make a decisive move.

8) Nicolas Seiwald (RB Salzburg to RB Leipzig) – £17.2m

The Austria midfielder becomes the 20th player to move between Salzburg and Leipzig since Red Bull took over the German club. Seiwald was reportedly a target for Arsenal and Roma but Leipzig agreed a deal for the 21-year-old in February, with a contract signed until 2028.

9) Chris Wood (Newcastle to Nottingham Forest) – £15m

Wood moved to the City Ground in January, with the incentive of a permanent move if certain, mysterious criteria were met. The Times reported that three starts would be enough to make Forest liable for £15million – he managed five before a season-ending thigh injury in March.

10) Ivan Ilic (Hellas Verona to Torino) – £13.5m

Similarly, ex-Man City midfielder Ilic joined Torino on a six-month loan deal from Hellas Verona with a conditional obligation to purchase. The Serbia international offered two goals and three assists in 14 appearances, presumably going over and above whatever minimum requirement was set.

The Spaniard is out of contract with United at the end of the month, although reports have claimed that the 32-year-old has reached an agreement over a new deal.

De Gea won the Premier League’s Golden Glove award for 2022/23 after keeping 17 clean sheets in the top flight this season.

However, United’s No.1 has faced criticism due to several high-profile errors and it’s understood that Erik ten Hag is keen for the club to recruit a new goalkeeper with better distribution.

‘He kept 17 clean sheets in the league. Yes, of course, you’re going to concede but to win the Golden Glove for yet another season is remarkable,’ McCarthy told 947 Joburg.
