Agreement reached: Manchester United reached agreement to sign £97million striker who’s more aggressive than Viktor Gyokeres

Over the past few weeks, the Italian press, and particularly from Florence, has been pushing Manchester United as a suitor for Fiorentina’s Moise Kean.

The striker’s release clause of €52m is previously said to have attracted the attention of multiple clubs and and the local media won’t let go of the Red Devils.

Florence newspaper Corriere Fiorentino report Manchester United and AC Milan have the Italy international on their shortlist, with Saudi Arabia side Al Qadsiah offering him a wage package of €15m per season.

This amount of attention is causing doubt in the mind of the player regarding his stay at Fiorentina, even if he respects what the club has done for him in the last year or so.

According to Corriere Fiorentino, Manchester United are currently looking to sign one of the ‘super strikers’ on the market, but if that fails they can turn to Kean.

Fiorentina are hoping that the player stays despite the attention he is getting and even this report – like many in the past, feels like an attempt to drum up the idea of interest in the striker, perhaps to help get him a pay rise.

In other news, Manchester United are close to completing a deal for Brentford forward Bryan Mbeumo, with an announcement likely to be made within a week from now, according to talkSPORT journalist Anil Kandola.

The Red Devils have been linked with the Cameroon international for weeks, and it appears the deal is nearing completion following several talks.

Mbeumo wants to join Man United despite reports linking him with a possible reunion with new Tottenham Hotspur manager Thomas Frank, and agreeing terms with the 25-year-old and his club is unlikely to be a problem in the coming days.

Paraguayan wonderkid Diego Leon will be joining Manchester United on July 1, according to VSports Team.

The Red Devils agreed a pre-agreement to sign the young left-back last winter following a series of medical tests.

VSports Team now reveal that he will officially join the Red Devils from July 1, having signed a five-year contract.

Leon looks an exciting young prospect
United could not sign the teenager during the winter transfer window as he was still 17.

According to Brexit rules, Premier League clubs are not allowed to register under-age foreign players.

Hence, a pre-agreement was the best solution so that United don’t miss out on his signature.

Leon is still inexperienced at the top level with only 33 senior appearances for Porteno.

However, the youngster has shown glimpses of his quality at the Paraguayan outfit.

He has won over four duels per game this season with 2.7 recoveries and 2.6 clearances.

The left-back has made more than one successful tackle per outing for his boyhood club.

Leon still needs to improve on his ball control which should come with age and experience.

His arrival at United could lead to questions over the immediate future of Harry Amass.

Amass proved a decent deputy for Patrick Dorgu in the left wing-back position earlier this year.

If Leon were to be integrated into the senior squad, Amass could be loaned out next season to secure valuable first-team experience.

The arrival of the youngster could also pave the way for the permanent transfer of Tyrell Malacia.

The Dutch ace spent the back end of last season on loan with PSV Eindhoven, and could leave the Red Devils for good this summer.
