Remember United's original goal of bringing in a new No.9? Zhekereish and Osimhen! The pair were considered the Reds' top two picks when Ruben Amorim took charge last year. However, Liam Delap then took their place for a variety of reasons, but with the England striker's $30 million move to Chelsea, Djekereish and Osimhen surprisingly returned to Old Trafford's shortlist.
According to reports, 27-year-old Sporting Portugal centre-forward Dzekereish may be willing to move to Manchester United this summer. He has been linked with three Premier League teams, Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool, but none of them have taken any further action. Arsenal, in particular, after face-to-face contact with the Swedish international and Portuguese Sport, instead opted to bring in Slovenian striker Sheshko of RB Leipzig and are close to reaching an agreement.
This was an embarrassment for Djekereish, whose father hinted that he might remain in the PSL-winning squad. However, according to the British media, Manchester United boss Amorim is still in contact with him, and he is happy to bring in the top goalscorer he has cultivated, provided that Dzhekerish does not mind that United will not have any European games next season.
Britain's talkSPORT reports that Saudi Pro League sides are also interested in Dzhekarishh, but the player is not considering a move outside Europe. In Europe, two teams, Juventus and Paris Saint-Germain, are also linked with Djekereish. However, many giants are quite cautious about actually buying him, because the previous Golden Boots of the Portuguese Super League do not seem to have performed very well after joining other leagues, such as Liverpool's Darwin Nunez, and the "Ancient Striker" Jardel, who has scored more goals than Dzhekereish, and finally became "parallel goods" in the Premier League.
Of course, there are still two major hurdles for United to bring in Djekereish. The first is that he wants to join the Champions League team, and United have not even qualified for next season's UEFA Cup. In addition, Manchester United need to sell their existing players first if they want to bring in Djekereish, and the Swedish striker's liquidated damages are as high as 85 million euros, although Portuguese are willing to reduce it to 70 million euros, which is still a high price. talkSPORT radio confirmed that United have also not held any talks on Dzhekeresh.
As for Osimhen, although he was once revealed to be about to agree to a move to Riyadh Crescent in the Saudi Arabian Pro League, Italian transfer expert Fabrizio Romano said that the 26-year-old Nigerian striker is on the verge of a collapse with the oil owner, and Galatasaray, who has been on loan this season, wants to keep him.
It is reported that Riyadh Crescent's offer of 65 million euros + 5 million euros floating clause has been accepted by Napoli and allowed them to negotiate directly with the player, but the two sides have not been able to reach a final agreement on personal treatment, and the deal is on the verge of ending.
Manchester United could also bring in Osimhen, who doesn't mind missing out on Champions League and European competitions, as long as the money is enough. He wants £400,000 a week, which is the biggest reason why he is drifting away from Premier League giants such as Manchester United and Chelsea. This is not an ordinary mountain that is easy to climb, but a Himalaya. You know, the Middle East tyrants can't satisfy the appetite of Nigerian shooters!
In the end, it remains to be seen whether Manchester United is really likely to sign one of these two "masked men". Sir Jim Ratcliffe must first sell some players that the team doesn't need, and Anthony is probably the one with the most potential buyers among them. As a result, Manchester United are said to want a transfer fee of €50 million.
The €100 million winger Antony has been outstanding since his winter loan spell at La Liga Real Betis, scoring nine goals and providing five assists, which earned him Carlo Ancelotti's call-up to the Brazilian national team. Betis could not meet United's permanent asking price and wanted another loan, but Rajue wanted to sell them outright.
On Thursday, the newspaper Sevilla revealed that Antony's lawyer, Cristiano Torelli, his agent Júnior Pedrosso and his brother Emerson Santos, have all gone to Sevilla to try to make a breakthrough this week and solve the problem of where he is going next season as soon as possible.
According to Spain's Fichajes transfer network, Manchester United has set a final price of 50 million euros for Antony, and has informed interested teams such as Betis, Atletico Madrid and Bayer Leverkusen. Betis certainly can't afford it, Atletico have a chance, and Ten Hag's Bayer Leverkusen will also be rich if they sell Wirtz for a high price.
