Manchester United's summer transfer window is heating up, with the club reportedly making moves before the window even opens. With the return of European football after a two-year absence, United is looking to strengthen their midfield, with multiple signings on the cards. Casemiro's departure and Manuel Ugarte's potential exit have left a void in the middle of the park, and United is keen to fill it.
One name that has been linked with a move to Old Trafford is Sandro Tonali, who is reportedly up for sale by Newcastle. According to Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera, United is in pole position to sign the midfielder, with a massive offer expected from a Premier League club. Tonali, an Italian abroad, has been a target for several Serie A clubs, but Newcastle's asking price is reportedly too high for the likes of Juventus. The Italian outlet claims that the deal could cost more than £70 million, with other outlets in Italy suggesting a price tag of £87 million (€100 million).
United's interest in Tonali is not the only transfer news surrounding the club. They have also been linked with Christos Tzolis, a player who has impressed in the Belgian Pro League. According to Gazet van Antwerpen, United, along with Aston Villa and Juventus, has made enquiries about the Club Brugge player. Tzolis has been in fine form, scoring 19 goals and assisting another 24 across 49 appearances, and there is an acceptance in Bruges that he will be leaving this summer. Crystal Palace offered £28 million a year ago, but his club now wants a Belgian record transfer fee, which stands at £34 million, the same amount Milan paid Brugge for Ardon Jashari last summer.
The transfer window is a busy time for United, with the club looking to strengthen their midfield and bring in new talent. With the return of European football, the club is in a strong position to make some big moves, and fans will be eager to see who they bring in to strengthen their squad for the upcoming season.
