Even with Manchester United managing to pick up their first trophy in six years with the Carabao Cup win over Newcastle United, there’s no denying they need a new striker next season.
The addition of Wout Weghorst in January is most likely temporary, which is why we are seeing names such as Victor Osimhen and Dusan Vlahovic being thrown around by the media as potential targets for the Red Devils.
Speaking of the latter, a lot could depend on whether Juventus manage to return to the Champions League, as them missing out could force them to sell one of their most valuable assets, with Manchester United waiting.
This is what Nicolò Ceccarini hinted at over the weekend in an editorial for TuttoMercatoWeb, where he touched upon the Serbian’s future.
He explains that Vlahovic has ‘entered the radar’ of Manchester United, who are ‘ready for a large investment’ on a centre-forward in the upcoming transfer period.
This is a potential deal that ‘needs to be monitored carefully’, as a big cheque from Old Trafford being slapped on the Turin club’s office could certainly make Juventus think about selling their big name forward.
