HOW WILL MANCHESTER UNITED CURRENT FINANCIAL STATE AFFECT THE CLUBS SUMMER TRANSFER WINDOW?
The world Cup might
have been an exciting, heart breaking thrill ride for most football fans around the world but just like all thrill rides, the world cup has to
eventually come to an end. For the fans of both the country of both Croatia and
France, the ride filled with hope and the ride which could lead to victory this
Sunday still rolls on as the world waits to see which country will emerge as
World Cup champions this Sunday. Croatia or France, who will earn the right to
be crowned world champions ? We will all have to wait till this Sunday to find
out.
For Manchester United football club, the ride does not stop even after the conclusion of the World Cup as the giant football club from England and their fans continue to see if there will be any more players added to the football club this summer. The Famous club from the city Manchester, found in the west part of England, is always subject to major speculation of buying a lot of players during the summer transfer window and this summer's transfer window has shown no major changes thrown towards the direction of the football club. Mourinho has gently made two signings in the form of signing portuguese, young, right back Dalot from FC Porto early this june. In addition to signing Diogo Dalot for 17 million from FC Porto,Brazilian Central midfielder Fred was also brought into the club from Shakhtar Donetsk shortly after for a fee of 52 million . Two good acquisitions judging from the records of both players and two players that will most likely improve the quality of performance by the team next season. But are these two players enough to land Manchester United a premier league title and more next season? The fans do not think so and research suggests that Manchester United could still sign a player but who? One names that seems to be a potential target for the football club this week is Ivan Perisic. Yes, that is correct, we are referring to the same Ivan Perisic whom Manchester United have adamantly been trying to sign for the past two season but Italian side have, just as stubborn, refusal to sell to the english giants for the past two seasons at least. Mourinho has appeared to be a strong, constant, admirer of the work the croatian wingers has been doing for his parent club Inter Milan in Italy and the work Perisic has done for his country Croatia during the ongoing FIFA World cup and if the sources of the recents reports are true, Manchester United are preparing to launch another bid for Ivan Perisic a few days after the conclusion of tomorrow's, massive, FIFA World Cup final game.
According to Manchester Evening News,
Manchester United might have been able to finally land the Croatian Midfielder
with the red devils willing to pay any transfer fees demanded by Inter Milan for the Croatian winger. But the real issue between the Perisic – Manchester
United saga is not a question of whether or not Manchester United want to buy
the winger this summer, it is more a question of does Inter Milan want to sell
one of the clubs most productive players for the past four seasons at least.
Inter Milan stance in regards to Ivan Perisic seems to be clear and simple: Perisic is an Internationale player and signing a new contract with Inter Milan early last year, the Italian club has released a statement early last
September that the new contract agreement between Inter Milan and Ivan Perisic does not include a release clause of any sought, the statement has automatic
put an end to the hope of the Red Devils landing the Croatian and will now
force Mourinho to turn his attention elsewhere to bring in reinforcements this summer. The extra reinforcement
Manchester United might desperately need to keep pace with the Reds Devils noisy
neighbours Manchester City might just come in the shape of AC Milan's, experienced,
defender Leonardo Bonucci. In a rather surprising news, News outlets such as
the Sun UK Edition have released reports that Manchester United are ready to
make a play for the 31 year old Italian defender.
For a player at the age 31 and for a player who cost a
whopping 31.50 million, not to mention the additional price of his release
clause from current club AC Milan, the interest Manchester United manager
Jose Mourinho has on bringing the experienced veteran over to Old Trafford
this summer is one action that Manchester United fans would call, a head
scratcher. Banucci current market value will mean that AC Milan will look add
some extra charges to what Leonardo Bonucci is currently worth in other to help AC Milan, who is currently battling with some financial crisis, ease the club's financial woes.
So here are the
facts that are clear about this entire situation: Leonardo Bonucci is 31 years old, Bonucci will cost at least 31. 50 million to sign from AC Milan and he
is still under contract that runs till June 30 2022 . None of these will
trigger any sought of enthusiasm in a group of Football fans eager to see their
beloved football club win Trophies with more Young talents brought into
the team to add more spark, excitement and of course quality to the players
already present at the football club. Plus, with the world cup reaching its
conclusion this past Sunday, Manchester United fans will be adamant that club
manager Jose Mourinho would have enough young prospects to try to sign as a
prefered option to current target Leonardo Bonucci. With the world cup over and
so many players having displayed their quality for the past two weeks, one
thing will be for sure, if Leonardo Banuchi is the last signing Manchester
United is to make this summer, there will be challenges met in convincing
Manchester United fans this summer transfer window was, in fact, a total
success. The Fans expect a little more and Mourinho might aim a little higher than Banucci or win the league next season if Banucci does end up becoming the last
signed Manchester United player this summer.
