Manchester United's defense is in a worrying state, with injuries coming in like a tidal wave, and the club dare not take it lightly, strengthening the lineup at a rapid pace. According to "transfer expert" Romano, the Red Devils have begun negotiations with Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich, and plan to bring in Bayern's center back Mathias Diricht at a price of up to 70 million euros (about 600 million Hong Kong dollars), a versatile player who can also play on the left and right flanks of the defense. The deal is expected to be finalized this Monday (12), helping the team to meet the challenges of the new Premier League season.
Manchester United have been in pursuit of Muffins De Ligt for some time, but the two clubs had been at odds over the transfer fee. The latest development shows that the two sides have reached an agreement. United will pay a fixed transfer fee of 45 million euros and a floating transfer fee of 5 million euros, totaling 50 million euros (about 450 million Hong Kong dollars) for Mathias Dilicte, and they will also bring in Mashayo for a fixed transfer fee of 15 million euros and a floating transfer fee of 5 million euros. Once the pair pass their medicals, they will sign a five-year deal. And it seems that Masharao suffered a minor injury during the pre-match warm-up on Sunday (11).
The signing of Mashayo will see United move right-back Yun Bishaka to Westham for a fee of 15 million euros (about HK$150 million).
United's defense has suffered a major blow, with Rauki Suhr, Duvel Malacia, Victorian Diluve and Jolo all injured. Newly signed center back Jolo is out for three months, while the addition of Mathias Dilettante and Mashayo has certainly given the team a shot in the arm.
