After beginning negotiations, Manchester United has reportedly made concessions in their efforts to acquire a new left wing-back. As a result, Liverpool is now in a position to acquire a more advantageous alternative that United simply cannot afford.
The left wing-back/left back position is one that both Manchester United and Liverpool are looking to fill with a new player. It is because United does not have a specialist option for the wing-back position in Ruben Amorim’s 3-4-3 system why they are interested in this player. In the meanwhile, Liverpool is fully aware of the necessity of finding a replacement for Andy Robertson, who has appeared to be far past his prime this season.
Milos Kerkez, a star player for Bournemouth, has gained the attention of both teams after scoring a spectacular goal against Newcastle on Saturday. Both clubs are interested in signing him.
Recently, Kerkez made a change in his representation by signing with the Lian Sports agency, which is owned by Fali Ramadani. TEAMtalk has heard on good authority that this was done with the intention of securing a transfer to a more prestigious team at some point in the year 2025.
In an interview with X earlier this month, transfer expert Fabrizio Romano claimed that Manchester United is considering Dorgu, who is 20 years old, as a more desirable and affordable option to Kerkez and Nuno Mendes (PSG), who is also a target for the club.
According to Romano’s report, Manchester United continues to seek for left-wing backs, and they have also signed Patrick Dorgu, a player who is a member of the Danish national team.
Both Milos Kerkez and Nuno Mendes are nearer the top of the list, but they are also more costly. Man United scouts have been keeping an eye on Dorgu over the past few months.
In addition, recent reports from a variety of sources indicate that Dorgu is the player that Manchester United is attempting to get.
The story was initially reported by Corriere dello Sport, which indicated that Manchester United are “negotiating with Lecce the purchase of Dorgu, one left winger for another: it could be the week of the deal.”
Alejandro Garnacho, who is thought to be on his way to Napoli, is the second left winger that was specifically mentioned in the article.
Although Dorgu is capable of playing a number of positions, if he were to be brought to Old Trafford, he would be positioned at left wing-back.
And according to the latest information provided by Fabrizio Romano and David Ornstein, a transaction is rapidly coming together.
To begin, Ornstein said that Manchester United are “in talks” for Dorgu, and Romano added that the club’s unofficial talks will soon become formal.
As for the conjecture over the price of Dorgu, Romano explained it by stating that Lecce hopes to receive €40 million or £33.8 million if they cash in on him.
TEAMtalk’s transfer source, Fraser Fletcher, has been informed that Dorgu is interested in joining Manchester United. This is a very important development for the club.
Milos Kerkez is the target of Liverpool’s free agent.
It is not completely out of the question that Manchester United will get Dorgu this month and then make a comeback for Kerkez in the summer. Therefore, it would appear that United would be eliminated from the race for Kerkez if they made a play for Dorgu. This is because there are so many situations at United that require attention.
In point of fact, Romano summed up the scenario on X when he stated that Dorgu is “high on [Man United’s] list as Kerkez and Nuno Mendes are still too expensive.”
If Manchester United were to withdraw from the competition to acquire Kerkez, it would undoubtedly be a piece of news that would be welcomed at Anfield.
As was previously indicated, the Reds are keeping an eye out for a potential replacement for Andy Robertson, but they are hesitant to make a decision this month.
When it comes to replenishing their ranks, Liverpool would much rather wait until the summer to do so since they do not want to have three senior left-backs in their squad at the same time.
And Liverpool will be able to afford to keep to their plans and make a bid for Kerkez the following summer if Manchester United makes an approach for Dorgu.
According to sources who spoke with TEAMtalk, Bournemouth would expect ‘at least’ forty million pounds for Kerkez.
This price tag will continue to increase between now and the end of the season if he continues to put in outstanding performances like the one he did against Newcastle on Saturday.
A deal has been reached for Antony to leave Manchester United, and Rayan Cherki is showing interest in the club.
An deal between Manchester United and Real Betis has been reached, and as a result, Antony will be moving to the Spanish club.
This is the location where you can find all of the information on the move, including the more advantageous terms that United was able to successfully negotiate.
Rayan Cherki, a maverick player for Lyon, has apparently been the subject of attention from Liverpool, according to multiple reports.
Because of reported worries over the player’s mentality, the dazzling talent may be bought for just €22.5 million or £19 million this month. This ‘cheap’ price tag is only so low because of the said issues.
