Intermediaries have reportedly offered 28-year-old English striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin to Manchester United, but the Red Devils have ruled out a summer move.
According to a report by Give Me Sport, Manchester United will have the chance to sign Dominic Calvert-Lewin in a Bosman move in the summer transfer window. The 28-year-old striker has become a free agent after leaving Everton. Since then, intermediaries have offered the player to Manchester United.
However, the struggling Premier League heavyweights have ruled out a summer move for the Englishman due to a “major red flag”. Calvert-Lewin’s injury record has spooked Manchester United, with a Bosman move to Old Trafford not on the cards for the former Everton striker.
Dominic Calvert-Lewin and his fitness woes
Dominic Calvert-Lewin was once among the best strikers in the Premier League before recurring fitness issues blighted his progress and reduced him to a shell of the productive striker he was a few years ago. The 28-year-old spent nearly a decade with Everton but was in and out of the starting lineup in the last few seasons.
The 11-cap English international turned out over 250 times for Everton while chipping in with 71 goals and 22 assists. However, Calvert-Lewin has become a free agent after his contract with the Merseyside outfit expired a few days ago. However, the player’s stock in the market is high, with recent reports linking him with Manchester United.
A new adventure beckons?
Recent reports have suggested that Manchester United made a move to sign Dominic Calvert-Lewin in a Bosman deal in the summer transfer window. The Red Devils are scouring the market for a striker this summer after Joshua Zirkzee and Rasmus Hojlund blew hot and cold in front of the goal last summer.
However, pursuing Calvert-Lewin was never the ideal solution, considering the Englishman’s regression in the last few years. While intermediaries offered the former Everton striker to Manchester United, the Red Devils have ruled out a Bosman move due to a “major red flag”.
The 11-cap English international striker’s injury record spooked Manchester United, as their “influential figures stopped short of engaging in prolonged discussions” over a Bosman move. However, Calvert-Lewin has other suitors, with recent reports linking him with Newcastle United.
