Manchester United have submitted a €50m bid for a midfielder Erik ten Hag would love to sign, though while the bid has been rejected, a sale to the Red Devils has been greenlit if they improve their offer.
Man Utd are on the cusp of wrapping up the signings of Noussair Mazraoui and Matthijs De Ligt. The Bayern Munich pair travelled to Manchester on Monday morning ahead of undertaking medicals.
Assuming there are no unforeseen late hiccups, the duo will become major signings three and four for Erik ten Hag. Joshua Zirkzee and Leny Yoro arrived earlier this summer.
Yoro (£52m), Zirkzee (£36.5m), Mazraoui (£17.1m) and De Ligt (£42.7m) have cost a combined £148.3m to sign.
Of course, that sum is inclusive of future add-ons and in the case of De Ligt, the guaranteed portion of his deal will be paid in instalments over a three-year period.
Nonetheless, Man Utd have shown they are more than willing to splash the cash and at least one more major signing is expected.
