Euro Paper Talk: Man Utd already in talks to sign dazzling Barcelona winger; Tottenham back in for prolific hitman
Manchester United have ‘made contact’ with the representatives of a flying LaLiga winger, while Thursday’s Euro Paper Talk claims that Tottenham will renew their interest in a top striker target in the January transfer window.
OLD TRAFFORD CHIEFS IN WINGER TALKS
Manchester United have reportedly already ‘made contact’ with the representatives of Barcelona star Ousmane Dembele with a view to signing the flying winger in 2022.
The France star was continually linked with a switch to Old Trafford, prior to the Red Devils signing Jadon Sanco. However, it appears that there is still firm interest in the player, as United plan for the future.
The return of Cristiano Ronaldo is only a two-year deal, while Edinson Cavani is set to move on next summer. To that end, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer still wants to add some young attacking to his squad.
Dembele, 24, fits that profile perfectly, despite his injury troubles since moving to Catalonia.
A fresh report from ElNacional claims that United ‘have already contacted’ the Frenchman’s entourage to ‘start negotiating his future’.
A major reason for the Old Trafford club’s interest is down to the fact that Dembele will be available on a free next summer.
However, there could be a spanner in the works to their hopes. Mundo Deportivo claims that the financially-hit LaLiga giants want to extend Dembele’s deal until 2024.
They are already said to have met the attacker’s agent, Moussa Sissoko, to discuss the renewal.
Barca remain confident a deal will get done, although United are monitoring the situation and can agree a deal with Dembele from January.
