Ratcliffe plans Manchester United Gleeson-Bremer swap
Manchester United boss Sir Jim Ratcliffe has targeted a stunning Serie A trio to turn the club’s fortunes around next season.
With the Red Devils keeping the dust dry in the January transfer window, a major cash influx is planned for the club during the summer transfer window. Manchester United In the present mediocrity.
As a result, Ratcliffe is said to be keeping an eye on three of Italian football’s best talents in what is being billed as a €150m triple splurge.
The British outfit will focus on quality over quantity at Old Trafford and according to reports, they have a new spine – a new centre-back, a new midfielder and a top new striker – who will help Erik Ten Hag’s side regain their place among the elite. I want it.
As far as defenders are concerned, the Red Devils are keeping an eye on both Jean-Clair Todibo from Ratcliffe’s other club, Nice, and Barcelona’s impressive centre-back Ronald Araujo.
But as both deals seemed unlikely to go through, a new name came into their thoughts. Gleason Bremer.
The 26-year-old Brazilian is considered one of the best defenders in Serie A and, at 26, is approaching his prime.
Juventus Calciomercato are doing their best to block a Manchester United move, reporting that they have put a whopping €70m (£59.8m) price tag on his head.
But Ratcliffe, who wins an average of five duels per game and has a ball recovery rate of 5.1 per 90, believes Bremer is worth the investment. And Calciomercato claim they will have no qualms about meeting the Bianconeri’s asking price in the summer.
Manchester United also want two more Serie A stars as part of a €150 million triple raid.
United, who brought in two Serie A stars Andre Onana and Rasmus Hoslund last summer, appear to be seeing the Italian market as a good opportunity.
And reports in the last 24 hours suggest they are targeting two other top Serie A talents to satisfy both their needs for a new midfielder and another centre-forward.
Firstly, Ratcliffe has reportedly opened talks with Atalanta to sign Brazilian midfielder Ederson, who is having an excellent season for Gian Piero Gasperini’s side.
Atalanta, valued at €40m, are determined to hold on to their prized asset until the summer when a major auction for his services is likely to be held.
It has been reported that Newcastle are very likely to be at the heart of the race, but it has been reported that Ratcliffe’s early move could have given United a key advantage.
The Red Devils are also spying a third raid on Italy, this time for the Bologna frontman. Joshua Zirczy.
The Netherlands U21 star has caught the eye this season, scoring 10 goals and providing two assists in 23 appearances.
And with United having scored just 24 goals in their opening 21 Premier League games so far, Ratcliffe recognizes this is an area that needs urgent attention.
The 22-year-old former Bayern Munich star fits the bill of young, upcoming talent that Ratcliffe will be keen to focus on attracting once he officially takes the helm at Old Trafford.
Additionally, according to journalist Ben Jacobs, United, valued at €40m, would need to spend €150m (£128m) to secure all three signings.
