This summer, European soccer giants have been rubbing their fists with the intention of strengthening their lineups through reinforcements. According to the Daily Mail, both Manchester United and Chelsea have shown keen interest in Zuyuntas midfielder Kirchenbielma. The 26-year-old Brazilian international could be valued at up to £50 million (HK$500 million).
Manchester United had originally targeted Napoli stalwart Kim Min Ja, but Bayern Munich may have gone ahead and acquired the 26-year-old South Korean star. Faced with the unexpected situation, United had to plan ahead and start the pursuit of Kirchenbühlmar.
The 1'88" Kirchenbirmer was named Serie A's best defensive player in the 2021/22 season during his time with Toledo. He was recruited by Zuyondas last summer. Last season, Kirchenbühlmar played 43 matches for Zuji, not only defending solidly, but also contributing five goals and showing excellent assisting ability.
After being taken over by Tannhäuser last season, Manchester United started the "South Beautification" strategy and successfully signed two Brazilian players, Anthony Maffeos and Casimiro, as well as Argentinean stalwart Lyszindo Martinez. Tannhäuser has been impressed by the performance of Kirschenbirnbaum and believes that he can replace Harry Magooni, who is likely to leave the club, and inject new vitality into the Red Devils.
However, Chelsea's leader, Pudjitenu, is also eager to bring in new central players and is also favoring Kirchenbühlmar. A battle for talent between the two giants seems inevitable.
