The fact that Manchester United appear to be on the verge of selling Romelu Lukaku has set tongues wagging across Europe, as they could go for a replacement in the next few hours.
Talks of offers for David Neres emerged in Brazil, but the Ajax player swiftly put an end to that story by extending his contract until 2023.
Now, El Chiringuito in Spain are claiming that Manchester United have turned their attention to Athletic Bilbao’s Iñaki Williams, ‘throwing everything’ at the transfer.
It’s stated the Premier League club ‘are prepared to pay’ the €88m needed to trigger his release clause, and will do so soon, since the transfer window in the Premier League shuts on Thursday at 5pm.
🚨🚨 ¡OJO a la INFORMACIÓN de @nicorodrigz! El @ManUtd va CON TODO a por IÑAKI WILLIAMS.
➡️ Están dispuestos a pagar su CLÁUSULA de 88 MILLONES de EUROS antes de que mañana cierre el mercado en Inglaterra. pic.twitter.com/yd94C7PYu4 — El Chiringuito TV (@elchiringuitotv) August 7, 2019
The Spaniard would certainly fit the type of football Ole Gunnar Solskjaer wants to play at Old Trafford, capable of playing across the front three if needed.
It’s a very big claim, and El Chiringuito’s track record with transfer news isn’t the best, so we’d recommend taking this with a pinch of salt for now.
Iñaki Williams scored 13 goals in 38 league appearances last season as well as assisting his teammates four times.
