Manchester United are lining up the perfect replacement for Paul Pogba, although it could cost them £ 100 million, while Mikel Arteta is set to make a move for a Man City defender, according to transfer gossip Thursday.
PERFECT UNITED EYE POGBA REPLACEMENT
Manchester United have reportedly maintained interest in signing Jack grealish, as Paul Pogba seems certain that he will leave the club.
The Red Devils were strongly linked to a move to Aston Villa and England’s playmaker throughout the summer, but no formal offer was made.
Villa was demanding £ 70-80 million at the time, although the Daily mail He now claims that the price has risen to £ 100 million due to Grealish’s impressive form for the club and the country this season.
The 25-year-old has five goals and five assists to his name and has become a regular on Gareth Southgate’s national team.
And now Athletic Laurie Whitwell suggests that United are ready to renew their interest in signing the player.
He states that “there has been a feeling that United may have missed a trap by not signing him.”
The creative midfielder is seen as an ideal replacement for the unhappy Pogba, while it can also take some of the creative load off Bruno Fernandes.
Whitwell said: “His new contract protects his value to Aston Villa, but Grealish still has fans at United.”
United will probably have to make him the most expensive British player in history if they want to sign him.
It remains to be seen if they would be willing to spend that amount of money on a player, with other obvious needs.
However, there could be a significant vacancy at Old Trafford if Pogba gets his wish to leave, with Grealish seemingly the perfect man to fill it.
