It feels somewhat customary for Manchester United to be linked with a South America based player in the winter market.
With the way the season calendar works in countries like Brazil and Argentine, the stars of the last campaign are now known, transfers are talked up, and it’s inevitable the Old Trafford club are linked.
With that in mind, Gazzetta dello Sport reports it’s ‘no mystery’ that Manchester United and Atletico Madrid are chasing Julian Alvarez.
There’s been repeat claims recently from Argentina about interest from the Red Devils, however, the Italian newspaper believes it’s Inter Milan who are currently in pole position.
It’s thought agent links could help Inter get a deal done, however, it’s also made clear the player’s representative has plans for meetings in London and Madrid, which is where Manchester United and Atletico would come in.
With the Manchester club having offices in London, they often conduct negotiations in the capital.
Newcastle United are also credited with interest, yet their chances are largely dismissed.
