Romano Makes “Very Big” Transfer Prediction As Man Utd Are Linked With 67 Cap International Midfielder

BACK Man Utd will go “very big” in their attempts to sign two midfielders at the end of the season, according to journalist Fabrizio Romano. Speaking on his YouTube channel, Romano played down links to Bayern Munich’s Leon Goretzka but he says the Red Devils are planning serious moves to strengthen the squad in the middle of the park: “Leon Goretzka will leave Bayern Munich as a free agent this summer and will have plenty of options. My understanding is that Manchester United will go very big for midfielders in the summer – trust me, very big.” “They could sign one or maybe two midfielders. United will go very strong for midfielders. Casemiro is leaving, but at the moment, I am not aware of anything advanced for Goretzka.” What is the situation with Goretzka? The German, who has been capped 67 times by his country, is not expected to sign a new contract with Bayern. Atletico Madrid actually made a move to sign Goretzka this month, but the player has now opted to remain at the Allianz Arena until the end of the season. Even so, the 30-year-old has admitted over the past week that he is tempted by the prospect of leaving Germany: “That is an option, of course. I find it exciting to go abroad at some point in my career.” Why are Man Utd looking for 2 midfielders? The Red Devils have been looking for new additions in that position since last summer. They made enquiries about signing Carlos Baleba but they were put off by Brighton’s asking price. Since then, it has been confirmed that Casemiro will leave Old Trafford when his contract expires on June 30th. It means that a replacement will also have to be found for the Brazilian.
