Manchester United transfer round-up: €120 million bid prepared for Real Madrid superstar and more - July 24, 2018

Hello and welcome to the Manchester United transfer roundup! Though the Red Devils have been silent on the transfer front since the arrival of Fred, rumour mongers have been working overtime with Manchester United at the forefront of numerous reports.

As expected, a number of players have been linked with a move to or away from Old Trafford. So without further ado, let's begin the transfer market madness involving Manchester United:

#5 Ante Rebic and Ismalia Sarr

On Mourinho's watchlist

Manchester United are desperate to land a winger this summer and have now set their sights on Eintracht Frankfurt wide man Ante Rebic. The Independent has reported that Rebic has emerged as an alternative for the likes of Willian and Ivan Perisic.

United had enquired about the possibility of signing Willian and Perisic but were left shocked by their valuations. Ed Woodward is not keen on spending around £70 million for players soon to be on the wrong side of 30. Rebic, meanwhile, is a youthful option and is valued at £44 million by Frankfurt.

Also, United are linked with another winger in the form of Ismalia Sarr. The Sun suggests that Manchester United are one of the side that are keen on landing the Senegalese pace merchant that took the World Cup by storm.

Rennes value the 20-year-old at £50 million. Along with United, other top clubs such as FC Barcelona, Juventus, Liverpool and Arsenal are also tracking the youngster's progress.

#4 Harry Maguire

Will he move to Manchester United?

Along with a winger, a commanding centre-back is Manchester United's summer priority. Harry Maguire is the chosen target with the club ready to spend over £50 million for one of England's World Cup top performers. But Leicester City are determined to keep Maguire in their roster for the next season.

The Telegraph has reported that Leicester are in no mood of letting another important member go after Riyad Mahrez and are prepared to offer Maguire a new deal. It is believed that signing an extension will see the centre back earn around £80,000 per week. With just three weeks to go for the English transfer window to end, Leicester are confident that they will be able to fend off United's advances.

#3 Anthony Martial

Ready to be sold

After initial reluctance, Jose Mourinho has reportedly decided to let Anthony Martial leave this summer. But the Guardian has claimed that Mourinho will only allow the sale to happen at a right price and to a club outside the Premier League. Bayern Munich and Juventus have been previously linked with the 22-year-old.

Martial has grown disillusioned at the club and has demanded his representatives to get him out of the club. United are ready to open the bidding at £50 million. With Chelsea registering an interest, United have been quick to pick a stance of not letting the talented forward join their direct rivals.

#2 Paul Pogba

Bye, bye, Paul?

Juventus are reportedly ready to let Miralem Pjanic go in order to bring back Paul Pogba to Turin. The Express has revealed that the Bianconeri are looking to bring the Frenchman back to the Old Lady after letting him go to Manchester United two years ago for a then world record sum.

Pogba has failed to hit the strides in England and has also been rumoured to have problems with Jose Mourinho. It is believed that United will want to recoup the entirety of the £89 million they spent on Pogba and will accept bids of over £100 million.

Juventus, on the other hand, are now ready to put Miralem Pjanic on the market with Chelsea, Manchester City and FC Barcelona interested. The Bosnian midfielder is expected to fetch a price of around of £70-80 million in the current market.

#1 Toni Kroos

Time to grace the Premier League?

With or without Paul Pogba, Manchester United are supposedly in the market for a creative midfielder. Toni Kroos has been a long-term target for the Red Devils with Jose Mourinho keen on landing the German maestro.

According to Don Balon, Toni Kroos may leave Real Madrid this summer for a new challenge. Both the Manchester clubs are interested in the veteran but United are reportedly leading the race for the Madrid favourite.

It is claimed that Manchester United are preparing a massive bid for none other than Toni Kroos. Real Madrid have placed a €120 million valuation on Kroos' head.
