Manchester United plan to sign a prolific French striker to replace a £54m man, Arsenal are ready to sign an unwanted Real Madrid star, while Wednesday’s Euro Paper Talk claims a Juventus star is open to a possible move to Liverpool.
TEN HAG TO SELL MARTIAL AND REPLACE HIM WITH FREE AGENT
Manchester United are ready to sell Anthony Martial this summer – but will first extend him to a new deal to protect his value.
The Frenchman joined United in a staggered payments deal from Monaco back in September 2015, ultimately costing £54m.
In that time, he has made 283 appearances for the club, scoring 83 goals.
However, the last two seasons have been his least newsworthy for United, making a combined 25 appearances.
And with his deal expiring this summer, United are circulating his name to potential suitors.
But rather than release him on a free, United instead to first take up the one-year option on his contract to protect his value.
As a result, he could be allowed to move on for a modest fee of around £25m this summer.
In his place, United are reportedly looking to sign Moussa Dembele from Lyon.
The France striker is also a free agent this summer and journalist Florian Plettenberg confirms he will move on without a fee this summer.
He reportedly has offers on the table from clubs in Germany and the Premier League, all of whom can pay him more than his current £50,000 a week deal.
Indeed, Aston Villa and Borussia Monchengladbach are reportedly among his suitors.
However, reports now claim Ten Hag wants him at Manchester United as a replacement for Martial.
Not only does Ten Hag reportedly see the player as an upgrade, he will likely sign on wages far less than what Martial earns.
Dembele has been a key player for Lyon since his arrival from Celtic in 2018, scoring 70 goals in 169 appearances.
