Manchester United held another round of discussions in the summer transfer window on Monday, with English media revealing that Jim · Sir Ratcliffe's INEOS transfer team are planning to buy Everton's former England centre-forward Dominique ·Calvert Calvert-Calvert-Calvert.
Manchester United have already signed Zilzek and Joro this summer, while De Ligt and Mazraoui have passed medical exams and are about to join. Italy transfer expert Fabrizio · Romano has revealed that the club intends to buy one or two more next, including a midfielder and the other could be a striker or defender, depending on market conditions.
United Kingdom Sky Sports said Manchester United are still in talks with Championship side Burnley over the transfer of Norway midfielder Sandel · Berg, the Championship has been unveiled, but Berg did not participate in the 'Red Wine Army's 4-1 thrashing of last season's Premier League relegation side Luton, signaling a possible departure.
Meanwhile, 27-year-old high school striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin is seen as a potential signing by Manchester United's hierarchy, although another new striker is not a priority at the moment. Calvert-Lewin has been plagued by injuries over the past few seasons, but if he stays fit, he is versatile and has the ability to score goals, scoring more than 50 goals in the Premier League and contributing four goals in 11 England call-ups.
Hojlund and Zilkze are tall but not very good in headers, and Calvert-Lewin can bring different attacking options, such as the former Netherlands striker Weghorst.
Previously, Manchester United had rumours with Brentford's Ivan · Toney and Aston Villa's Ollie· Watkins, but the two are more expensive, especially last season's assist king Watkins, without hundreds of millions of pounds to transfer Fivilla will not sell, they have Champions League qualification this season.
Everton have set a price tag of £40 million for Dominic Lewin, which means he doesn't need to reach that price and could be £30 million or less to get a deal done. Previously, Newcastle United were interested in him, but ultimately failed to close a deal.
The latest rumours this week also claimed that United were interested in making a third offer for Everton centre-back Jarrad · Branswaite and were willing to offer a total of £60 million, including a floating clause. The Red Devils are said to be confident that Everton will accept the figure, despite the £70 million they have been asking for this summer.
Manchester United have agreed a five-year contract with 21-year-old Branswaite for £160,000 a week, and the deal could be completed if they can convince Everton to release him. However, after signing Joro and securing De Ligt's arrival, United will have to sell their existing players if they want to buy another centre-back, with Victor Lindelof and Harry Maguire both already in or close to entering a 'contract year'.
The 30-year-old, who is in the final year of his contract with no extension clause, is the next player United would like to sell the most, a topic that was also discussed during the talks on Monday. Maguire still has a one-year contract plus a season extension option but his £190,000-a-week salary is much higher than Victor Lindelof's £120,000.
The high-paid players Casemiro, Sancho and others that Manchester United wanted to purge were unsold. The 32-year-old Brazil striker Casemiro is now likely to remain in the squad, with interest in him in the Saudi Arabia Pro League cooling and his good performance against Manchester City in the Community Shield, with manager Ten Hag saying he wants the £350,000-a-week player to stay.
'Casemiro was in pre-season and is in great form at the moment. We work very well together as a team, which makes Casemiro more comfortable." Ten Hag said: 'He's a great player who can bring his skills and experience to the table and is important for our team. If he doesn't leave, I don't have any ideas and we've had a great time working with him."
