Manchester United are ready to chase Matheus Nunes, as they hope to beat Liverpool and Barcelona for the Portuguese midfielder.
According to Football Insider, Manchester United could steal a march on Matheus Nunes and hope to beat Liverpool in the chase. The Wolves star could depart in the summer amid big interest from Premier League rivals and Barcelona. And he could take the next steps in his career in the coming months.
Manchester United will strengthen significantly in the next window. Erik ten Hag will look for ideas to reshape his squad to challenge for the top trophies. The Dutch manager wants to reinforce many key areas of his team, with the central midfield in particular focus for the head coach.
Ten Hag remains satisfied with Casemiro’s arrival and performance throughout the season. Now, bringing in the right partner for the Brazilian seems imperative. And they have a few names on their shortlist. They might sign Marcel Sabitzer permanently, but only if Bayern reduce their asking price.
Meanwhile, Ten Hag also wants someone to compete with Casemiro in the defensive midfield position and play alongside the Brazilian.
24-year-old Barcelona and Liverpool target Matheus Nunes has become a player of interest. The Wolves star could depart the club at the end of the season, especially if they suffer relegation. He could add value to this Manchester United side, although he will have plenty of offers around the summer window.
Wolves may not sell him for less and have quoted Liverpool around £50 million for the midfielder. The 24-year-old Barcelona target’s price could come down if Wolves suffer relegation at the end of the campaign. The latter scenario seems unlikely, meaning Manchester United, Liverpool, and the Catalans will have to pay a significant sum to prise him away.
Barcelona have been reportedly interested. But their financial condition may force them to look away from any deal. They cannot pay what Wolves might demand for the 24-year-old midfielder. Hence, the chances of staying in the Premier League seem high for Nunes.
Liverpool have been keen since last summer, leaving many baffled at their decision not to sign the midfielder. Wolves may have had a stroke of luck in their pursuit of Nunes and could profit handsomely from his sale.
If they are serious, Manchester United will hope to beat the competition and bring the Portuguese to Old Trafford. For now, nothing seems concrete, but things could start rolling as we enter the final few weeks of the current season.
