Manchester United appear to be closing in on the signing of a standout attacking right-back, with Monday’s Euro Paper Talk providing the final report on the future of Victor Gyocerres, the Premier League’s main attacking target after Sporting’s win on Sunday.
Manchester United ready to achieve long-term goal
Manchester United appear to be close to completing a deal to sign their best attacking right-back this summer.
It is no secret that Sir Jim Ratcliffe is looking for upgrades to the club’s first XI across all areas of the pitch and the option of bringing in a new full-back is in his thoughts.
Left-back remains the top priority given the injury problems of Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia this season, but a move for the right-back is also likely as the Red Devils remain likely to offload Aaron Wan-Bissaka.
And that’s where it is unitedInter Milan star’s chase continues Denzel Dumfries The latest reports suggest Ratcliffe is first in line to seal a deal for the Dutchman.
Dumfries’ future has been a subject of debate for some time, especially given that his current contract at San Siro expires in the summer of 2025. The fact that he has yet to agree a new contract has also heightened talks of an exit.
To that end, Monday’s edition of Gazzetta dello Sport discussed the 28-year-old’s long-term future, putting United firmly in the lead once again.
The report focuses on players who could leave the Serie A champions and Dumfries is included in that list.
If the two sides cannot reach an agreement on a new contract, Inter are reportedly planning to sell the right-back to the highest bidder. Contract negotiations are also complicated and the Nerazzurri are starting to believe he could leave in the next transfer window.
Manchester United on alert as Inter ready to push for Dumfries move
Without a new deal, Italian club officials will ‘accelerate his move’ for €25-30 million, Gazzetta said, with United the only option mentioned in the report.
It has also been reported that the Netherlands international ‘wants’ to join Manchester United as he has always refused to play for a mid-level Premier League side. It’s a strange concept considering United currently sit in eighth place under Erik Ten Hag.
Indeed, the future of Dumfries team-mate Ten Hag is highly uncertain, but Gazzetta adds that United ‘could be a concrete option’ for the attacking full-back if the former remains at Ola Trafford.
Dumfries has scored three goals and added six assists in 34 games in all competitions for Inter this season and is likely to overtake Diogo Dalot as the club’s starting right-back regardless of who is in charge at United next season.
