Jose Mourinho ready to plot £70m bid to sign Portugal international
According to The Sun, Manchester United head coach Jose Mourinho is plotting a sensational £70m bid for AS Monaco star Bernardo Silva, who he believes could make a perfect partnership with Antoine Griezmann when the Frenchman joins Old Trafford side.
The 53-year-old Special One is a huge admirer of the 22-year-old Portugal international, although he faces serious competition to get his signature.
The former club of Jose Mourinho Real Madrid are also planning a move for the attacking midfielder, who is widely considered to be one of the hottest prospects across the Europe.
Bernardo Silva has already scored four goals and provided four assists in 17 Ligue 1 matches this term and Jose Mourinho is a major fan of his compatriot.
The Red Devils manager believes young Portuguese could provide the perfect link between Man United’s midfield and their new frontman Griezmann, who is set to join Premier League giants for £85m transfer fee.
Silva is represented by Jose Mourinho’s agent Jorge Mendes, which should help his cause in getting a deal over the line.
Alongside Griezmann and Silva, Man United have also been linked with a move for Bayern Munich attacking superstar, Thomas Muller.
Deal Close: Man United set to agree £21.7m deal with League 1 giants
According to the latest transfer news, Manchester United have almost reached the agreement over the transfer move of Memphis Depay to Lyon, but they have inserted a buy-back clause into the deal.
The Old Trafford side have finally agreed to sell their 22-year-old winger to the French club after weeks of haggling over a move.
The transfer fee is believed to be around £16m, possibly rising to £21.7m after Lyon met Man United’s demands.
Lyon has been chasing for the Dutch international since the beginning of the January transfer window and have seen two bids turned down by the Red Devils.
Depay has found life in Manchester difficult since his big-money move from Eredivisie giants PSV back in 2015 when Louis van Gaal was still in charge at Old Trafford.
Man United head coach Jose Mourinho has not had much time for the 22-year-old winger since he took over with the Dutchman making only six appearances this term.
As per the Sky Sports, the Premier League club also have a sell-on clause in the deal should Lyon cash in on Depay in the future.
Man United ready to beat Borussia Dortmund in race for £17m Ajax goal machine
According to the German media sources, Manchester United have to beat Bundesliga giants Borussia Dortmund in order to wrap up a deal for Ajax Amsterdam striker Kasper Dolberg before the end of January transfer window.
It is believed that German giants are considering Dolberg as the potential replacement for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who could leave Signal Iduna Park for a big-money move.
Man United are believed to be one of Dolberg’s many suitors, but it’s yet to be confirmed if they are ready to make an official bid for the highly-regarded youngster until the summer transfer window.
But as per the Bild, Borussia Dortmund are without their main man in Aubameyang who is currently on duty at the African Cup of Nations and want reinforcements.
It is believed that Dortmund are also about to sell Adrian Ramos to Chongqing Lifan which would leave the Bundesliga side without a senior striker in their ranks.
The 19-year-old Kasper Dolberg is expected to command a fee of £17m after scoring 11 goals in 28 matches this term.
Ajax have the young forward tied to the club until 2021, but may be tempted to cash in on their asset in January with interest from Dortmund.
