Man United free sign top target, Barca to sell United target, Red Devils can sign striker for€75M

Here is a roundup of the top Manchester United news, gossip and transfer latest featuring the likes of Viktor Gyokeres, Bryan Mbeumo and Ronald Araujo that we think you guys may have missed…

Sporting CP has revealed why they will refuse to sell Manchester United and Arsenal target Viktor Gyokeres below their valuation during this summer transfer window.

Manchester United had a pretty poor season last year and lost far too many games for the size of the club, with many believing that Rubem Amorim may not even be the boss this summer window.

However – the Portuguese man is still in charge and has already made a few signings that should make an impact for next season, but he still wants to keep adding to his squad over the next few months.

Viktor Gyokeres is a player that has been heavily linked with a move to the Premier League over the past few transfer windows, with many reports suggesting that Amorim would love to bring his former player to Old Trafford.

But if the likes of Manchester United want to secure a deal for Gyokeres on the cheap, that wont happen as Sporting Lisbon CP have sent a clear transfer message – Frederico Varandas told O Jogo: “Sporting is very calm regarding Viktor Gyokeres.

‘Sporting does not need to sell him, but we remain sensitive to the dreams of Viktor and any of our athletes.

‘After weeks of meetings, we are not asking for the release clause and will be reasonable regarding the price we ask for Viktor. Today, I believe there is a strong probability he will leave. We have been watching the market and I saw [Martin] Zubimendi, who is six months younger than Viktor, leave for €65million.

‘I saw Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo, both forwards but who, in my opinion, do not have Viktor’s market value or quality, being negotiated for around €75million.

‘Given the demands we consider fair, I believe Viktor could leave – unless he has the worst agent in the world, which is hard for me to believe, because he is one of the best footballers in the world.”

RONALDO ARAUJO CHANCE?

Long-term Manchester United target Ronald Araujo has returned early to training under Hansi Flick, but Barcelona’s financial concerns may still force a decision on his future.

Manchester United had one of the clubs worst seasons in recent memory and were one of the worst sides in the Premier League, which means that this summer transfer window is a way to sgn players that will make a difference.

The defence was a real issue for Man United last season Ruben Amorim has a number of transfer targets that he may feel could come in and make an impact on, and off the pitch for the Red Devils.

Araujo has made over 150 appearances in all competitions for Barca since joining from Uruguayan outfit Boston River for a fee of just £1.5million back in 2017, and has firmly established himself as a regular at the heart of the club’s defence.

However, according to a report from Mundo Deportivo, Barcelona may consider activating Araujo’s temporary €60 million (£51m/$65m) release clause amid ongoing financial fair play pressures.

The clause is active from July 1 to July 15 and allows other clubs to sign the centre-back for that fixed amount. Araujo came back from his summer break early and is going to start training this week with Flick before the official beginning of pre-season.

Ruben Amorim knows that he needs to add another world class defender to that back-line, he knows that having a solid back-line will help get the club challenging for trophies once again.

Araujo could be a great signing for Manchester United he really is world class, but he really does not want to leave Barcelona at this stage of his career, so United would be getting a player that does not actually want to be there.

As we said he would be a great signing, we just cant see this happening.

MBEUMO PRICE SET

Brentford sporting director Phil Giles says Bryan Mbeumo would be happy to stay at the club if a deal cannot be agreed with Manchester United this summer transfer window.

Mbeumo had an amazing season last year for Brentford and firmly established himself as one of the best forwards in the Premier League, with his performces attracting interest from the likes of Tottenham and Manchester United.

United and Brentford have held talks and the player wants the move to Old Trafford, and Sky Sports News understands Brentford want in excess of £65m for Mbeumo and United have so far offered a package rising to £62.5m.

Now Giles has exclusively told Sky Sports News that there is a deal to do only if is “right” for Brentford – he said: “There is significant interest in Bryan. It’s been well publicised about, his current preference.

“He had an unbelievable season and we expected interest in him.

“From what I understand he is, also, if needs be, happy to stay at Brentford next year as well.

“We’ve spoken to Bryan and his representatives. It’s not a given that he’s going to depart this summer.

“If we get the right offer, there is the potential for a deal to be done but there is only so much we can say now on that.”

IcFootballnews Says…

Manchester United will be very lucky to get Mbeumo this transfer window, he is ready to make that next step in his career and a move to a massive club needs to happen.

If United really wants the player then they will need to splash the cash, it is only a couple of million more that Brentford wants, no point is losing out over a few million.
