Manchester United are ready to make an offer worth €15-20 million to sign Sevilla forward Youssef En-Nesyri, with the Moroccan interested.
According to Rudy Galetti, Manchester United are set to make a €15-20 million bid to test Sevilla for Youssef En-Nesyri. The Spanish outfit are open to selling the Moroccan striker, but may want slightly move than the sum mentioned, with the player keen on the switch to Old Trafford.
Manchester United to make Youssef En-Nesyri bid?
Rudy Galetti has claimed Manchester United are ready to make a bid to sign Youssef En-Nesyri in the coming period. The Red Devils are keen to sign a striker in this window, and may have now considered the Moroccan as a key target to their plans.
Rasmus Hojlund will need a strike partner who will compete for the solitary place in the lineup. They had considered other options like Serhou Guirassy, but have since cooled their interest in the Stuttgart option. En-Nesyri does tick a lot of boxes for Manchester United, as they are looking to bring a physically imposing striker who has aerial prowess.
Manchester United are reportedly preparing a €15-20 million bid for the forward, although Sevilla had wanted €20-25 million to sell him. En-Nesyri has entered the final year of his deal at the Spanish club, and there is no chance of a renewal, something that has attracted other clubs towards the Moroccan. In this case, the striker seems to be interested in a switch to Old Trafford, that could play in the Red Devils’ favour.
Even if Manchester United end up paying more for the forward, probably close to Sevilla’s asking price, they will still get a good deal and a forward in his prime. They desperately need such an experienced player up front to help in Hojlund’s development and also their own success next season.
En-Nesyri has other suitors
Manchester United are currently leading the race for the La Liga forward, although they might face late competition from Premier League rivals. West Ham are interested in En-Nesyri, with former Sevilla boss Julen Lopetegui keen on a reunion, and could make a compelling case for the forward t join them.
Tottenham are also keen, with the North Londoners looking at a striker with En-Nesyri’s profile ahead of the summer. Should both those London sides come into the mix, Manchester United might have to dig deep to find a way to convince the forward to join them.
