United ready to submit incredible 103m bid for superstar attacker, Ineos want to make statement signing – report

Manchester United’s hierarchy have so far indicated that they are not going to spend recklessly in the transfer market. However, after losing Elliot Anderson and Mateus Fernandes to their top six Premier League rivals, INEOS find themselves in a tricky spot, and it might take a statement signing to move the needle as far as fan sentiment is concerned. Interestingly, a report suggests the Red Devils are willing to do just that, but their target is an attacker rather than a midfielder. Real Madrid considering selling Vinicius this summer According to Hooligan Soccer, Real Madrid are facing the risk of losing Vinicius Junior within the next 12 months, as he has entered the final year of his contract at the Santiago Bernabeu. It is understood talks over an extension have stalled, alerting Europe’s biggest clubs, including Manchester United, Paris Saint-Germain, Bayern Munich, and Liverpool. The 25-year-old, who scored 22 goals and registered 14 assists across all competitions last season, is thought to be demanding a salary similar to, or higher than, Kylian Mbappe. However, the La Liga giants have no desire to meet such demands. Furthermore, Real president Florentino Perez does not want to lose the Brazilian superstar for free, and as such, an option of a sale this summer is being considered. Manchester United ready to make offer for Vinicius The report claims United are preparing to take “the most concrete step” in the race to land Vinicius, who is currently spearheading Brazil’s attack at the World Cup. Michael Carrick has reportedly identified Vinicius as a primary target, with the figures at Old Trafford now fully focused on completing a remarkable transfer. It is claimed United have “prepared a formal offer” in the region of $137 million (£103m) and are “ready to submit” it to Los Blancos in the coming weeks.

However, the club’s priority remains overhauling their midfield, and they are unlikely to have a budget for a record-breaking addition higher up the field.
