#2 The want for defenders
If I have learned anything from doing these roundups, it is that Jose Mourinho is absolutely going to sign at least one center-back in the summer. He has been linked with a long list of them already.
Independent understands that the Red Devils will go to war against Barcelona in order to land Inter’s Milan Skriniar. The Italian outfit want a whopping €80 million for the defender, which is a complication with the deal.
Meanwhile, Diario Gol adds that Raphael Varane is another player on the list of Jose Mourinho. They report that he feels he deserves more in wages after witnessing his French team-mates Antoine Griezman and Samuel Umtiti earn bumper deals with Atletico Madrid and Barcelona respectively, and will ask for a better deal.
If his demands aren’t accepted, he will leave – and United are waiting for the Frenchman, who has a release clause of €200 million.
