With Cron joining the Saudi League at the beginning of the year, the global soccer community has been actively striving to bring in more top stars, and the recent news has finally come to us: Alexandre Dinis, who is on loan from Manchester United to Westville this season, has decided to travel to Saudi Arabia to reunite with Cron, as Westville has no intention of continuing to loan him out and United has no desire to buy him back, as the 30-year old Brazilian international has happily accepted Ainas's olive branch.
According to As, Dinis joined United in 2020 and played for the team for two seasons, making 50 appearances, scoring one goal, and sharing the pitch with Cron. This season, after Tannhäuser took over as United coach, Dinis was loaned to Xavier, but unfortunately suffered a knee injury and missed the World Cup in Qatar, making 32 appearances for Xavier this season and scoring no goals.
United had brought in Dinis from Porto for €15 million and now, three years later, his valuation in the German transfer market has dropped to €12 million (about HK$103 million). Given the Cron connection, Dinis has shown keen interest in a move to Saudi Arabia, while Turkish Super League side Galatasaray have also extended an olive branch to him.
