According to a report in the German media, fussball.news.
Manchester United Football Club
are considering bringing in Dutch center back Derek De Rigt, but they are not willing to compromise on the terms and fee for the transfer.
Manchester United, for their part, want to sign Derek Derekett but are not accepting any specific asking price at the moment. The two sides have begun negotiations, but the progress is still unclear. It is reported that Derek has not performed as well as expected in the Europa League, which may affect his price in the transfer market.
Transfer details and conditions:
The United scenario is to offer a fixed transfer fee of €40 million plus a bonus float, and they are hoping to find a center back in the €30 to €40 million range. Drieght is considered to be a center back option worth between €50 and €60 million, which leaves both sides still to get closer on the price issue.
Manchester United considerations and challenges:
United have stepped up their investigations into Derek Hector's background in recent days, and they value his experience, ability to play against the run of play and leadership skills. However, United will have to sell some of their current players before they can be active in the transfer market, which is one of the main challenges they are currently facing. There are some internal concerns about Drieht's injury record, which also affects their decision-making.
Summary and future outlook:
The United hierarchy have yet to decide to go all out to sign Drieght after evaluating the options, believing that he still needs to improve in certain areas, especially in terms of pace and versatility. While Ten Hahn has welcomed a renewed partnership with Drieght, United will continue to weigh up the options and seek the best solution.
