  • Manchester United “leading the race” to sign Rodrygo this summer – Man United News And Transfer News

    Manchester United “leading the race” to sign Rodrygo this summer – Man United News And Transfer News


    Manchester United are reportedly “leading the race” to sign Rodrygo as the Real Madrid winger draws closer to a dramatic exit from the Bernabeu.

    Rodrygo, 24, was a crucial part of the Madrid side which secured an imperious Liga and Champions League double last season.

    The Brazilian international scored 18 goals and provided nine assists in all competitions during the campaign, but it was his unrelenting work-rate and selflessness which made the skilful winger stand out.

    The signing of French superstar Kylian Mbappe on a free transfer from Paris Saint-Germain in the summer has unsettled the balance of the Madrid attack this season, however.

    Carlo Ancelotti has struggled to find a formula which fits Mbappe and Rodrygo into a functioning attack alongside Jude Bellingham and Vinicius Junior. Rodrygo has often been the victim of this imbalanced ‘quadro’ with less goals, assists and minutes on the pitch this season than last.

    As a result, Madrid crashed out of the Champions League in the quarter-final stage against Arsenal and are currently second in La Liga, four points off leaders Barcelona.

    Los Blancos’ bitter rivals also triumphed in the Copa del Rey final last weekend, beating Madrid 3-2, in what proved to be the final straw for Ancelotti’s time in the Spanish capital as it was confirmed the Italian coach would be leaving at the end of the season.

    However, it now appears Rodrygo could be set to follow his manager through the exit door at the Bernabeu if a “big-money bid lands from the Premier League,” The Sun relays – with Old Trafford suggested as the most likely destination for the 24-year-old this summer.

    “The 20-time Brazil international is ready to pack his bags and seek a new challenge, according to reports in the Spanish media.

    “Real are believed to be looking for around £85million to let the Brazilian leave. Arsenal have been linked with a move, but it’s Manchester United who are reportedly leading the chase as they search for a statement signing for next season.”

    The exorbitant transfer fee would prove difficult for the Red Devils to meet given the club’s financial difficulties, owing to the acute pressure of PSR.

    But success in the Europa League this season – with a semi-final clash against Athletic Club this week – could offer both the prospect of Champions League football and a huge cash injection for United to use as negotiating gambits with Rodrygo’s representatives.

    This remains a report The Peoples Person are sceptical of, given the unlikely idea Rodrygo would choose a side currently languished in 14th in the Premier League as his next destination, but if INEOS could pull off a sensational swoop it would arm Amorim with one of Europe’s elite attacking prospects to radically improving his misfiring forward line.

  • Liverpool Set Darwin Nunez Price as Atletico Madrid Circle for Summer Transfer

    Liverpool Set Darwin Nunez Price as Atletico Madrid Circle for Summer Transfer



    As Liverpool bask in the glory of their Premier League title triumph, transfer speculation is heating up — and Darwin Nunez is firmly in the spotlight. The Uruguayan striker could be heading for the Anfield exit door this summer, with Spanish giants Atletico Madrid eyeing a potential move.

    Nunez Transfer Talks Begin as Liverpool Reveal Asking Price

    According to Spanish outlet AS, Liverpool have set a price tag of €40m to €45m (£34m–£38m) for the 25-year-old forward. That’s a significant drop from the €75m they paid Benfica just two years ago, but reflects his mixed impact and limited starts under new boss Arne Slot.

    Despite netting five goals and providing two assists in the league, Nunez found himself slipping down the pecking order this season — featuring mostly from the bench during the title run-in.

    Atletico Madrid in the Lead — But Not Alone

    Atletico Madrid, under Diego Simeone, are believed to be admirers of Nunez’s aggressive style and physical presence. Reports claim Simeone has been “seduced” by the striker’s attributes, with the club open to striking a deal — especially if Liverpool agree to a loan with an obligation to buy.

    However, they’re not without competition. Saudi giants Al-Nassr are also monitoring the situation, although Nunez reportedly prefers to stay in Europe at this stage of his career.

    What’s Next for Nunez?

    Liverpool’s willingness to loan the striker — provided most of his wages are covered — opens the door for multiple suitors. With Champions League football on offer, Atletico may currently lead the race, but other European clubs could soon join the chase.

    Will Darwin Nunez find his spark in La Liga, or will another twist await in his Premier League journey?

  • SSC Napoli sporting director Giovanni Manna reveals why Scott McTominay has been a success this season – Man United News And Transfer News

    SSC Napoli sporting director Giovanni Manna reveals why Scott McTominay has been a success this season – Man United News And Transfer News



    SSC Napoli sporting director Giovanni Manna has explained why former Manchester United midfielder Scott McTominay has been such a success in Serie A this season.

    The Scotland international left Old Trafford last summer and joined the Italian side for £25.7 million.

    McTominay immediately hit the ground running in Italy and has not looked back once, helping his side up to first place in the Serie A table.

    He has scored an incredible 11 league goals in 30 games this season. Only seven players have found the net more often in Italy and Romelu Lukaku is the one Napoli player to have scored more than him with 12 strikes.

    The Scot underlined his importance to the team once again with a well taken brace against Torino at the weekend which put his side three points clear of Inter Milan entering the final month of the season.

    Commenting on the transfer, Napoli’s sporting director claimed that everyone was already aware of the talent of a player like McTominay whilst he was at United.

    TUTTOmercatoWEB quote Manna as saying, “there is too much work in daily life, that’s why it is difficult to watch so many footballers.”

    Nonetheless, this was not necessary for this transfer as he claimed, “someone like McTominay does not need to be discovered, we knew he was an important footballer.”

    He also hinted that the player was being used incorrectly at Old Trafford and that Napoli have spotted something that United could not see.

    Commenting on what can explain McTominay’s rise to prominence he asserted, “he just had to be put at the centre of a specific project.”

    Manna claimed that Napoli will continue to look to the Premier League as a source of recruitment in the future as he claimed it is “the best league in the world, with the best players in the world. The level is high, intensity, tactics, technique. There are many components that can have an impact in Italy.”

    This is interesting, as Napoli have been heavily linked to United attacker Alejandro Garnacho who is likely to leave this summer.

    McTominay will next be in action when his Napoli side travel to Patrick Dorgu’s former club Lecce on Saturday afternoon.

  • Radek Vitek keeps impressive clean sheet for FC Blau-Weiß Linz versus Rapid Wien – Man United News And Transfer News

    Radek Vitek keeps impressive clean sheet for FC Blau-Weiß Linz versus Rapid Wien – Man United News And Transfer News


    Manchester United’s Radek Vitek and Dan Gore were both in action yesterday for their respective loan sides.

    Vitek was in great form, helping his FC Blau-Weiß Linz side to a clean sheet in a 0-0 draw versus Rapid Wien.

    The Czech keeper was given a rating of 8.4 on Sofascore and made an impressive six saves during the match.

    All six of his stops came from inside the box as he helped keep the Rapid attack at bay.

    He also kept his box clear by making one successful high claim and one punched clearance.

    Once again, he was poor in his kicking, only making 48% of his passes. What’s more, his long kicking was also subpar, as he could only connect with four out of 13 long ball attempts.

    Nonetheless, it was Vitek’s first clean sheet since the 9th February against LASK Linz, so he will be delighted with this.

    He will next be in action on Sunday when his team host second-placed SK Strum Graz.

    Dan Gore also made his much anticipated return to senior action for Rotherham United.

    The United youngster has been not played since the start of February but he made just his second appearance for The Millers.

    He played the final 23 minutes of Rotherham’s 1-1 draw with Stevenage.

    The 20 year old only managed six passing attempts but did connect with five of them.

    Gore also failed to have any shots on goal and he was unsuccessful with his only dribble attempt during the game.

    He was strong in the air though, winning four out of five aerial duels and won one ground battle out of three attempts.

    Sadly for Gore, he only has one match left of his spell at Rotherham, when they will welcome Peterborough to the New York Stadium on Saturday.
