Christopher Nkunku, Aurelien Tchouameni, Frenkie de Jong, Jurrien Timber and Anthony dos Santos.
These are players who have been. making the headlines in terms of players expected to be making the long trip down to Old Trafford to join Manchester United during the 2022 summer transfer window. Besides Christopher Nkunkwu, the evidence is quite clear that a good portion of these players have continued to be strongly linked with a move to Manchester United partly due to the clear ties that some of these players have had with former Ajax manager and current Manchester United. manager Erik Ten Hag.
At the moment, there is no real information that suggests that Ajax midfielder Ryan Gravenberch would have completed a move from Ajax to Manchester United during the 2022 summer transfer window. On the contrary. what was understood at the time as the likely transfer move set to happen during the current 2022 summer transfer window was, as far as the situation concerning the Dutch midfielder is concerned, Ryan Gravenberch was always understood to be a player who was expected to complete the now finalized move from Dutch side Ajax to German side Bayern Munich. A deal which has now been completed between both clubs for a whopping projected sum of £19 million.
With Ryan Gravenbach now ruled out of the running as one of the potential candidates who can fill the role as the new central midfielder to come into Manchester United during the 2022 summer transfer window to replace the now-departed Paul Pogba, what is understood as the current situation transpiring in and around Manchester United is that Manchester United is now understood to be prepared to turn their sights elsewhere as the Red Devils continue their ongoing endeavor to make sure that Erik Ten Hag secure the services of two new, top quality, central midfielder before the 2022 summer transfer window comes to an end-
(At the moment when this article was originally drafted, the understanding is that Manchester United was putting the finishing touches on the acquisition of Dutch central midfielder Frenkie de Jong with an agreed, approximated, a fee of 85 million looking set to be completed during the 2022 summer transfer window as of early June 2022.)
With this information in mind, let's introduce the topic of yet another highly regarded player Milinkovic Savic who was reported as a potential incoming acquisition for Manchester United during the early period of the 2022 summer transfer window. Here's what is known so far on this story as per received information gathered over the past few months-
Coming into June 2022- the early period of the 2022 summer transfer window- the understanding of Manchester United’s, status in the 2022 Summer transfer windows was that highly coveted Serbian midfielder Milenkovic Savic-a player whom Manchester United was known to have wanted to secure his services for quite a while- was yet again understood to be within Manchester United's radar. But additional information also received about the future of Milenkovic Savic has now revealed that the Serbian midfielder will choose to remain with his current Italian club SS Lazio by signing a new contract with the I Biancocelesti at the end of this season.
However, after SSC Lazio recorded what was a fairly unsatisfactory season by finishing outside the Champions League qualification spot this past 2022/22 season, the reality of SS Lazio not being able to offer Champions League football next season is understood to be a situation that might yet play a pivotal role in deciding where the future of Serbian midfielder Milenkovic Savic lies next season.
What is understood as of mid to late May 2022 is that the race to sign Milenkovic Savic has currently been held between three clubs namely Manchester United, Paris St, German, and Tottenham. Juventus were understood to be highly interested in acquiring the Serbian midfielder this 2022 summer transfer window according to information received in the middle of spring 2022.
However, as the 2022 summer transfer window neared Its opening in early to mid-May 2022, Information received suggests that Juventus is ultimately understood to have made the decision of pulling out of the wrist for the Serbian midfielder.
This situation is understood to have resulted due to the understanding held by Juventus that with the current position held by “The Old Lady” as the fourth option club in pursuit of the acquisition of Serbian midfielder Sergej Milinkovic Savic, what the current situation of Milenkovic Savic reveals is that Juventus understands that the Old Lady (the Nickname for Juventus) might not be able to compete with the financial strength received from the other three runner up clubs.
As had been stated earlier in this article, at the moment, the four runner-up clubs who are poised to secure the services of Milenkovic Savic this 2022 summer transfer window is understood to be Real Madrid, Paris St, German, Tottenham, and to some extent Manchester United.
.
At the moment, information recieved states that the hierarchy at Juventus football club does not see the current status of the Old Lady regarded as the fifth option team capable of securing the services of the Serbian midfielder this 2022 summer transfer window as favorable especially considering the reality that Juventus will be competing against for big clubs in Real Madrid, Paris St German, Manchester United and Tottenham in the race for the acquisition of Milenkovic Savic this 2022 summer transfer window.
At the moment, what is understood is that Juventus will or has pulled out of the race to secure the services of Milenkovic Savic and this has led to four clubs in Real Madrid, Tottenham, Manchester United, and Paris St, German now potentially battling to secure the services of the £80 to £85 million highly-rated Serbian midfielders. A situation which has been revealed with the help of Information received during the early part of the 2022 summer transfer window.
£80-87 million Is understood to be the number stated by SS Lazio as the understood price which must be met by any club who is serious about acquiring the services of Serbian midfielder Sergei Milenkovic Savic this 2022 summer transfer window. As has already been mentioned, Manchester United continues to be a club positioned as a top three-top four club on the list of clubs willing to acquire Sergei Milenkovic Savic this 2022 summer Transfer window.
However, as of early to mid-May 2022, bit understanding is that Paris Saint Germain continues to be yet another strong powerhouse that has serious intentions of attaining the services of Serbian midfielder Sergei Milinkovich Savic. At the moment, Paris Saint Germain is understood to currently hold an 80% chance of transferring Serbian midfielder Sergei Milenkovic Savic over to the French capital- Paris- this 2022 summer season.
Although, there is also the current understanding that Serbian midfielder Milenkovic Savic still has retained the intent of remaining with his current Italian side SSC Lazio with the Serbian midfielder now understood to be against any move away from Italian team SS Lazio this 2022 summer transfer window.
There is also the understanding that with the availability of French midfielder Paul Pogba who is currently understood to be one of the biggest free transfers most top clubs are angling to secure his services this 2022 summer transfer window, the intriguing opportunity of securing the services of French midfielder Paul Pogba for free is projected to potentially play a part in the decision of Milinkovich Savic potentially being acquired by the French club Paris St, German this 2022 summer transfer window.
At the moment, the rumored situation which might transpire in the French capital- Paris this 2022 summer transfer window is an outcome that might see Paris St German decide to let go of the clubs’ current interest in Milankovitch Savic for any potential chance that Paris St German has of securing the services of French midfielder Paul Pogba this 2022 summer Transfer window.
Nevertheless, another Important twist in the tale In regards to the race to secure the services of Serbian midfielder Sergei Milenkovic Savic has surfaced over the past two or three months.
What’s understood as of late April 2022 is that with the information that Real Madrid has emerged as a strong candidate who is willing to secure the services of the French midfielder Paul Pogba this 2022 summer transfer window, Manchester United might then lose out on the battle to secure services of Milenkovic Savic as Paris St German is understood to be a club poised to secure the services of the Serbian Midfielder
A situation that will prove rather detrimental to Manchester investor's search for a replacement central midfielder now that French midfielder Paul Pogba has indeed completed the projected move away from Manchester, England in the very early part of the 2022 summer transfer window.
Right now, the projected situation Which will reveal itself in regards to Paul Pogba's future Involves a possible move that will see the French midfielder either join the Los Blancos (Real Madrid), join Les Parisiens (Paris Saint Germain), or join the Old Lady (Juventus) this 2022 summer transfer window.
The domino effect of Paul Pogba choosing to sign for any of these three clubs between Real Madrid, Juventus, and Paris Saint Germain this 2022 summer transfer window might potentially result in the two clubs left behind between Real Madrid, Juventus, and Paris Saint Germain presented with a massive opportunity of securing the services of Milenkovic Savic If the Serbian midfielder does, in fact, leave SS Lazio this 2022 Summer transfer window.
A situation that either way will most certainly leave Manchester United out of the loop Regarding signing Sergei-Milinkovic Savic this 2022 Summer Transfer Window. The hope which had been circulating around and within Manchester United in the very early part of the 2022 summer transfer window had been understood to be that should Paul Pogba potentially join Paris St German this 2022 Summer Transfer Window, Manchester United might then have a free ride to secure the services of Serbian midfielder Sergej Milenkovic Savic this 2022 summer transfer window.
However, as things stand at the moment, should Paul Pogba join Paris Saint Germain this 2022 summer Transfer window, Manchester United will still have to face serious competition from Tottenham., Real Madrid, and Paris Saint-German for the services of Milinkovic Savic If Manchester United were to retain serious intention of securing the services of Sergei Milenkovic Savic this 2022 summer transfer window.
At the moment, the understanding around Manchester United's current central midfield debacle Involving a Paul Pogba replacement and any potential opportunity the Red Devils have of securing Sergej Milenkovic Savic during the 2022 summer transfer window remains that Milankovitch Savic has continued to sound off his intention of staying with SSC Lazio at the end of the 2022 summer transfer window and into next season.
The understanding remains that Italian side SS Lazio really cannot afford to offer the Serbian his desire to play Champions League football next season. As a result, Milinkovic Savic is understood to be a player who will be on the move away from Lazio this 2022 summer transfer window.
With Paul Pogba now grasping an 80% chance of joining the Italian side Juventus by the end of the 2022 summer transfer window. what’s also understood Is that Milinkovic Savic still holds a 75% -80% chance of still remaining at SS Lazio by the end of the 2022 summer transfer window.
What does the future of Milenkovic Savic and Paul Pogba have concerning Manchester United?
Well, with Manchester United understood to basically be in desperate need of potentially two central midfielders this 2022 summer transfer window, Paul Pogba who is now understood to have exited Manchester United will potentially join one of the three top clubs in Europe in Real Madrid, Juventus, or Paris Saint Germain who need a central midfielder.
Therefore, this situation will definitely close the path to one of the top destinations afforded to Milenkovic Savic this 2022 summer transfer window.
With the understanding that Real Madrid is not really looking at the Serbian mature as a top target this summer, Manchester United may fancy their chances of contending with Paris St German for the services of Milinkovic Savic this 2022 summer window if the Red Devils can sell Serbian midfielder the dream of working on that new manager Erik Ten Hag.
Should the upcoming, projected, move which will see Paul Pogba join Juventus this 2022 summer transfer window be completed, this will put Manchester United in jeopardy of losing out on the potential opportunity of the signing of Milinkovic Savic even further as Real Madrid will more than likely secure the services of the Serbian central midfielder this 2022 summer transfer window.
