While the international break is still in full swing, Manchester United are being linked with more and more moves, but this time, the media are focused on two stories. Both of them have to do with Italian giants Juventus.
Juventus Set Sights on Greenwood
Juventus are reportedly eyeing a move for Manchester United loanee Mason Greenwood as they look to strengthen their attacking options ahead of the summer transfer window. The Italian giants, led by sporting director Cristiano Giuntoli, are seeking a forward capable of delivering moments of unpredictability and flair in the final third. According to Gazzetta dello Sport, as referenced by the Daily Mail, Juventus are concerned about the physical condition of Federico Chiesa. This uncertainty has prompted the club to consider Greenwood, who has been on loan at Getafe and has impressed with his performances in Spain. Since his move at the end of the summer transfer window, Greenwood has made 27 appearances across La Liga and the Copa del Rey, netting 8 goals and providing 5 assists. His contributions this season surpass those of Juventus’ own Filip Kostić and Chiesa. Greenwood’s form has caught the attention of several clubs, and with Manchester United likely to seek the best possible offer for him, Juventus may face competition for his signature. As they continue to monitor the situation, the Italian side’s interest in Greenwood highlights their intention to bring in a dynamic attacking player.
United Eye Juventus Defender Bremer
Manchester United are preparing for an active summer transfer window as they seek to bolster their defensive options. One of their primary targets is a top-quality centre-back, with the future of Lisandro Martínez and the potential departure of Raphael Varane raising concerns. Martínez is widely regarded as United’s best centre-back when fit, but his injury record has been a concern. Varane, whose performances have waned, is expected to leave Old Trafford at the end of the season, adding urgency to the search for a replacement. Additionally, United might look to sell Harry Maguire or Victor Lindelöf, further necessitating the acquisition of a strong defensive presence. A recent report from The Mirror suggests that Dan Ashworth, despite still being on gardening leave from Newcastle, is already influencing United’s transfer strategy. Ashworth has reportedly approved a move for Juventus defender Gleison Bremer. The Brazilian centre-back, who is also linked with Chelsea, has a £43 million release clause in his contract with Juve, which is considered reasonable given the current market.
Bremer is seen as a potential partner for Martínez in United’s defence next season. However, with numerous defenders being linked to the club on a weekly basis, the list of potential centre-back targets is likely to expand as the season progresses. As Manchester United look to solidify their squad, both Greenwood’s potential move and the pursuit of Bremer highlight their strategic plans for the upcoming transfer window.
