Manchester United’s grave condition this season can be highly attributed to this year’s summer signings. Be it Manuel Ugarte or Joshua Zirkzee, most of them have proven to be an utter flop till now.
Following the sacking of Erik Ten Hag and Ruben Amorim’s takeover, the club is now vouching for some new strikers who can deliver for them upfront. Struggling at the 13th spot in the Premier League 2024/25 points table, the INOES are reportedly eyeing a big name from Italy.
Additionally, Amorim is open to parting with striker Zirkzee in a swap deal. Notably, Zirkzee transferred to United from Italian club Bologna and has been consistently challenged to find his form.
Manchester United trying to sign Lautaro Martinez
According to Fichajes, United are trying hard to sign Lautaro Martinez from Inter this winter. The English club is willing to offer a massive sum of £50 million plus Zirkzee to rope in the Argentine Striker.
Interestingly, the Nerazzuri believe this is a good offer for them and are reportedly working to get things done this winter if things go well.
Lautaro is widely acclaimed for his scoring prowess and relentless attacking efforts, making him one of the most coveted forwards in today’s international arena. Meanwhile, Inter views Zirkzee as a chance to recruit a player who possesses both the potential and the experience to quickly adjust to the top level of Italian football, given his previous tenure there.
Several reports claim that Amorim is likely to operate on a modest transfer budget this winter and will likely carry on from the squad that he inherited from Ten Hag. However, any possibility of Lautaro might trigger the Red Devils to open their money vault for the 27-year-old.
If happens, this deal will not only strengthen Amorim’s team but will also provide the Italian club with a future replacement and huge cash. Let’s wait and see how it goes.
