Which center Manchester United wants to buy in the summer window? It seems that the club has not yet determined its final goal. They are contacting each other. The latest negotiation protagonist is French striker Hugo Ekitic in Frankfurt. The 22-year-old is also a target for Chelsea and Liverpool, who openly ask for €100 million (£84 million), but may €80 million be enough to reach a deal.

Ruben Amorin hopes to strengthen the forward position, which is a fact that football world knows. After Liam Drapp transferred to Chelsea for £30 million, Manchester United had to readjust their goals, and well-known centers such as Dzekelish, Osmayen, and Vlahovic re-entered rumors. rumor about Ekitic and Manchester United has also existed long ago, but Sky Sports in Germany said that Manchester United contacted Frankfurt this week to express specific interest in Ekitic and discussed potential trade possibilities. It is reported that Chelsea had previously refused to meet Frankfurt's 100 million euro price, and Biography said that Liverpool also had preliminary contact with Ekitic, who scored 22 goals last season.

Frankfurt sports director Marcus Croche emphasized that they do not have the pressure to sell players, and the player contract is still 4 years away, so they will definitely not sell at a low price. "If the price is not right, then Hugo (Ekitic) stays," he said. "Finally, we don't need to sell him." Another center, Tzekelish, who recently contacted Manchester United, publicly responded to his controversial transfer process. Zhekelais said on his social media account: "There are a lot of rumors now, most of which are fake. I will tell the truth at the right time."

This week, Portuguese media reported that he was eager to transfer and even threatened that the club would stop training and games in order to leave the team. His agent insisted that Portuguese Sports had promised to transfer him to leave with a transfer of 70 million euros, but the Portuguese Super League champion club flatly denied it, saying that he only promised not to ask for a liquidated damages of 100 million euros. Portugal Sports is said to hope that 27-year-old Tzekeles can sell 80 million euros.

The day when the Swedish god front spoke coincided with the rumor that Arsenal offered a fixed transfer fee of 55 million euros, plus a floating clause of 10 million euros. This offer will certainly not be accepted by Portuguese, and negotiations with Arsenal will continue. Arsenal's new sporting director Berta has a big appetite and hopes to sign Dzekelish and Benjamin Scheshko at the same time!

Manchester United also has the intention to quote. It is said that the price it gave for the first time may be a fixed amount of 60 million euros plus a floating amount of 10 million euros, and it did not reach the psychological price of Portuguese. Therefore, Zhekelais' transfer farce is destined to last longer.

Nepoli's 27-year-old Nigerian striker Osmain has also been one of Manchester United's choices, although his £400,000 weekly salary requirement has always posed a barrier. Premier League transfer expert Graeme Bailey claimed: "Manchester United and Osmaine have been in contact for several months, and they are really interested." He explained in detail: "After talking to a source close to the player, we can confirm that Osmaine's choice is not entirely based on money, otherwise he would go to Saudi Arabia. However, he believes that he is one of the best centers in the world football world and needs to be paid accordingly. This does not mean that he will ask Manchester United for as much money as Saudi Arabia, he knows Manchester United is his choice, he wants to go to the Premier League. Chelsea has given up, but I heard that Liverpool cannot be excluded. He doesn't have to join the Champions League team, but naturally he doesn't want to miss the Champions League after he comes. Manchester United is telling him about the future, such as Bruno Fernandez staying in the team, Cunya joins, and Mbemo may also come. "

Manchester United are also continuing to pay attention to Crystal Palace's French striker Mattha, who scored 14 goals last season in the Premier League. But "Football Insider" said that the 27-year-old shooter's contract is in 2027, and the "London Flying Eagles" are discussing renewal with him.
