Paper Round: Manchester United consider Thiago and Robert Lewandowski double swoop
Manchester United want Thiago and Robert
Lewandowsi, Liverpool on verge of Alisson deal, Fulham close on
Aleksandar Mitrovic, and Burnley want two from Swansea.
United in the market for Thiago and Lewandowski
Manchester United are considering a double swoop before the end of the transfer window, per the Independent. Robert Lewandowski
and Thiago are both for sale at the right price from Bayern Munich.
United have the cash to reinforce both positions before the start of the
season. They are also interested in both Alex Sandro of Juventus and Toby Alderweireld of Spurs, with a chance both transfers could go through with more negotiation over price.
Our View: I don't see this happening..
Alisson set to complete Liverpool switch
Roma goalkeeper Alisson is on the verge of completing his £66m
move to Liverpool. The Premier League club have had their bid accepted
and are now preparing for the 25-year-old Brazilian to complete a
medical before finalising the deal. The club have stolen a march on Chelsea, who are expected to be in the market for a replacement for Thibaut Courtois.
Fulham close in on Mitrovic
After the transfers of Jean-Michael Seri and Maxime Le Marchand from Nice
in a £30m coup, Fulham are set to make another transfer as they prepare
for life in the Premier League. They are set to complete the permanent
signing of Aleksandar Mitrovic from Newcastle United,
who spent part of last season on loan with Fulham. The 23-year-old
Serbian international is on a post-World Cup break, and should complete a
£20m move upon his return.
Burnley continue to buy British
Sean Dyche looks set to continue his purchases of young British
talent for Burnley. The two players he has in his sights at the moment
are Swansea City players, Sam Clucas and defender Alfie Mawson. The move comes after Dyche was frustrated in his pursuit of West Bromwich Albion due Craig Dawson and Jay Rodriguez, for whom he had a £25m joint bid rejected.
