Man United is desperate to add to their team in the summer transfer window, Darwin Nunez is targeted.
Erik ten Hag is keeping a close eye on Benfica’s Darwin Nunez, who has had a spectacular season,
that has put him in the transfer window with the Portuguese squad, the Uruguayan had a breakout season,
scoring 34 goals as they went to the Champions League’s last eight. Nunez has a ticket to Anfield,
and Manchester United’s new manager is interested in seeing him there next season.
As part of a deal to bring Darwin Nunez to Old Trafford, Manchester United is willing to make Andreas Pereira,
the ideal makeweight.
As Erik ten Hag prepares to bolster the squad, the Benfica star is one of his primary targets.
This summer at the Red Devils, there will be lots of movement in the transfer window.
This season, the Uruguayan international has been in outstanding form.
The 22-year-old has 34 goals in 41 games for the club and has been linked with Real Madrid,
Liverpool, and Paris Saint-Germain. Nunez is valued at £100 million by Benfica, according to the Independent.
That would be completely outside of United’s remit, given the club is looking to bring in several players,
and such a figure would be a big blow to their transfer fund. As a result, the Red Devils have devised a strategy,
with Ten Hag identifying an ideal star who might be used to lower the price.
As he evaluates his choices in the final third, Ten Hag looked up the forward, who is expected to cost £100m.
According to the Independent, Liverpool was the player’s first destination, but his team is open to a move to Manchester.
Because Andreas Pereira is a possible inclusion, United may try to sweeten the deal with a cash plus player offer.
With Benfica eager to come to the table, Pereira has been mentioned as a possible makeweight for a deal.
The Brethren Pereira has been summoned. With Benfica eager to come to the table,
Pereira has been mentioned as a possible makeweight for a deal. Several players, including the Brazilian,
will be anxiously awaiting word on their futures at Old Trafford. A major overhaul might result in a slew of departures,
so we take a look at who Benfica might be interested in if United sign Nunez.
Pereira, Andreas
In recent years, the Brazilian has been forced to go out on loan on a regular basis,
in order to ensure he gets consistent minutes. His most recent club was Flamengo,
but he is now back at United. Another shift away appears to be in the cards, based on the competition for places.
Before moving to Brazil last year, the 26-year-old had only two seasons to make an impression at Old Trafford,
having spent time on loan at Valencia and Lazio. While the midfielder may an alienated at United,
he could still be valuable to the club.
With a multitude of clubs following Nunez, if Pereira could be used to help defray some of Nunez’s costs,
it may be a masterstroke of a deal.
Jurrien Timber and Antony of Ajax could reconnect with Ten Hag at Manchester United,
while Frenkie de Jong, another of Ten Hag’s pupils, has been highly linked.
