Manchester United will reportedly compete with Chelsea, Liverpool, and Tottenham for 19-year-old Greek striker prodigy Stefanos Tzimas, who will cost around £25 million.
According to a report by Graeme Bailey on TBR Football, Stefanos Tzimas is the subject of interest from Manchester United. Chelsea, Liverpool, and Tottenham Hotspur are also keen on signing the teenage striker prodigy. Meanwhile, FC Nurnberg will likely exercise the purchase option to seal a permanent deal for the Greek youth international before demanding £25 million to sell him.
Stefanos Tzimas and his rapid rise at FC Nurnberg
Stefanos Tzimas has gone from strength to strength since joining FC Nurnberg from PAOK on a season-long loan deal in the summer transfer window. A protege of Miroslav Klose, the teenage sensation is one of the most highly-rated young attacking prospects in the world.
The 19-year-old has amassed eight goals and two assists in 15 outings across all competitions this term. Tzimas’s progress has compelled Nurnberg to exercise the purchase option. After that, the 2. Bundesliga club will look to recoup £25 million from the youngster’s sale amid his links with Premier League bigwigs like Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester United, and Tottenham Hotspur.
A man in demand
Chelsea signed only Marc Guiu to reinforce the offensive department in the summer transfer window. So, they are keen on adding another centre-forward in one of the two transfer windows this year. Tzimas has thus emerged as a viable target for Chelsea. As for Liverpool, the Reds recently joined the race to secure the services of the Greek youth international.
The Merseyside club might part ways with Darwin Nunez this year amid rising uncertainties surrounding his future. So, Tzimas is an option worth considering for Liverpool. Meanwhile, Manchester United’s interest in Stefanos Tzimas is understandable. Marcus Rashford and Joshua Zirkzee face an uncertain future at Old Trafford, and the Red Devils need a striker.
So, Tzimas is a viable target for Manchester United. As for Tottenham Hotspur, the Greek youth international is an option worth considering amid uncertainties surrounding Richarlison’s long-term future. So, the FC Nurnberg star can be an alternative to Dominic Solanke in the final third.
The 19-year-old striker is keen on moving to the Premier League, and Nurnberg’s asking price of £25 million makes him an appealing target. It will be interesting to see if Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester United, and Tottenham Hotspur meet the German club’s asking price for the Klose protege.
