Manchester United plan to make a move for Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic in January, with Antoine Griezmann also being cherished by Erik ten Hag…
UNITED TO MOVE TO THE ARSENAL GOAL
Manchester United needs a striker. They needed a striker before Cristiano Ronaldo saw his bum and with the 37-year-old gone now the Red Devils really need to plug the hole in their squad next month.
The only question was will they get it right or paint over the abyss with another Odion Ighalo. A few whispers this morning suggest they might pull themselves together.
Corriere dello Sport understand United are ‘serious’ about targeting Dusan Vlahovic. The Serbian striker only joined Juventus last winter but the aftermath of the The old lady’s financial irregularities means Vlahovic could be promoted again after just a year in which he has scored 16 goals in 36 appearances.
If Juve signal a willingness to listen to offers for the centre-forward, United could face competition from Arsenal, Liverpool (really?), Chelsea and PSG.
TEN HAG FANCIES FRANCE STAR
United are also said to be ‘monitoring’ Antoine Griezmann…
The French striker was one of the stars of the World Cup in a free role for Didier Deschamps side. Mediafoot believe Erik ten Hag appreciates the 31-year-old’s versatility and believes he could operate in multiple positions in United’s attack.
Griezmann only re-signed for Atletico in October After spending last season on loan from Barcelona, he received around half of the £34million he originally wanted. You’ll likely hear the p*ss boiling all the way out of the Nou camp when Atletico Griezmann turns over for a quick win.
NEWCASTLE KEEN IS QUARADONA
Newcastle have been conducting some surveillance of their own, with Khvicha Kvaratskhelia in their sights…
Kvaratskhelia has been brilliant for Napoli since joining from Dinamo Batumi for £10million in August. Just a dozen Serie A games later and ‘Kvaradona’ is now valued at five times that amount.
The story goes on
According to The Times, the Magpies have been keeping a close eye on the ‘Georgian Messi’ since his move to Napoli and have been so impressed by his tally of eight goals and eight assists in all competitions that Kvaratskhelia has now become a priority for the next two transfer windows.
With that, it’s almost certain that Newcastle will have to wait until the summer. Napoli are currently at the top of Serie A and will continue the season by eight points. The prospect of them selling one of their best players mid-campaign seems far away, especially with PSG and Real Madrid also lying in wait. If Kvaratskhelia maintains its current form, its value could double again in the summer.
