Manchester United are said to be ‘considering’ making a huge offer to Real Madrid for Vinicius Junior as the club is about to sign Mbappe.
Over the past week, a series of sources from Europe confirmed that Kylian Mbappe’s deal with Real Madrid has come to an end. The French striker’s arrival at the Bernabeu is expected to affect the future of a number of other stars.
Among them is the name that MU is interested in, which is Vinicius Junior. According to Defensa Central, they are ready to spend big to get the Brazilian superstar when they believe he may leave because he has to make room for Mbappe.
With the support of new owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe, MU is said to have a budget of about 250 million pounds for the next summer transfer period. In particular, Vinicius Jr. is valued at about 155 million pounds (180 million euros) because his contract with Real Madrid expires in 2027.
In addition, the English club is also selling Antony for 43 million pounds to compensate for the purchase of Vinicius. If everything goes smoothly, MU will reduce the cost of buying Real Madrid stars to about 110 million pounds.
For their part, Real Madrid is said to have no intention of selling Vinicius Junior, whether they have Mbappe or not. But clearly the price of 155 million pounds is very attractive and they can consider it, only if this player also wants to leave.
Besides Vinicius Junior, Man Utd is also said to be targeting Crystal Palace’s star winger Michael Olise. The creative Frenchman has scored six goals in 11 matches this season and has attracted interest from Juventus and Chelsea.
This deal is also expected to cost the Red Devils about 70 million pounds. In addition, MU is reported to be looking for a new midfielder this summer.
