The summer transfer market continues to heat up with a series of high-profile moves from European giants. Attention is focused on Manchester United as they receive a valuable opportunity to strengthen their midfield from a Spanish club , while Chelsea set huge price limits on key players amidst interest from rivals.
Manchester United have the opportunity to rebuild their midfield with Marc Casado.
Spanish media reports indicate that Manchester United have been given the green light to sign midfielder Marc Casado. Barcelona are forced to put the young talent on their transfer list to reduce their wage bill and meet stringent financial regulations. Man Utd's management is now seriously considering negotiations to bring in a quality addition to their midfield.
Conversely, the Old Trafford club is also facing pressure to retain their captain. Galatasaray has made an extremely attractive offer of £18.3 million per season for Bruno Fernandes – double the amount the Portuguese midfielder is currently earning in England. Despite this, Man Utd remains firm in its stance, with no intention of letting go of its captain in the near future.
Chelsea are demanding huge transfer fees for Enzo Fernandez and Pedro Neto.
In the transfer market, Chelsea are being extremely firm in protecting their squad. Manchester City have submitted an offer for midfielder Enzo Fernandez, but The Blues are demanding a figure exceeding £120 million. The Argentinian star is seen as a strategic piece in new manager Enzo Maresca's plan to strengthen the midfield, forcing Chelsea to set an exorbitant price to deter their direct rivals.
Furthermore, the London club is demanding a fee of nearly £100 million for winger Pedro Neto. The Portuguese star is attracting significant interest from Al-Hilal of the Saudi Pro League, and is also being targeted by Manchester City, Arsenal, and Tottenham.
