Manchester United don set target to resharp their midfield this summer, but dem don hit major obstacle for Italy mission. According to Fabrizio Romano, the Red Devils dey find top midfielder Sandro Tonali, but Newcastle price dey too high for dem.
Romano tok say: “Manchester United have been on a mission in the recent days in Italy to discuss about several topics. For example, a player they really appreciate is Sandro Tonali, and his agents are based in Italy. Tonali is obviously playing at Newcastle. Manchester United believe Tonali at the moment is really expensive, so at the moment the price remains the problem.”
United need midfielders because Casemiro go leave when im contract finish for June, and Manuel Ugarte fit go Italy or Turkey. The squad don look weak anytime Casemiro or Kobbie Mainoo no dey play, with players like Ugarte or Mason Mount no fit do deep role well.
Newcastle bin finish 12th for Premier League, so no European football for St James Park next season. Dem see Tonali as dem most sellable asset to avoid financial wahala. But Newcastle dey ask for around £100 million for the 26-year-old Italian.
Manchester United get around £150 million to spend on three new midfielders. Dem don already agree personal terms with Atalanta star Ederson, and £35 million fit secure the Brazilian. If Tonali cost £100 million, only £15 million go remain for third midfielder.
United need to sell players wey dem no need again to raise more money. Rasmus Højlund don go to Napoli after dem qualify for Champions League. Joshua Zirkzee, André Onana, Altay Bayındır, and Manuel Ugarte fit leave. Diogo Dalot and Matthijs de Ligt also get questions about dem future.
