Barcelona is said to have ‘no intention’ of signing a new right-back this summer, which might help Manchester United in their pursuit of Premier League-linked Benjamin Pavard and Amar Dedic.
Remember how United dragged along for what seemed like an eternity without a traditional right-back? Much to the chagrin of many Old Trafford fans. Is Antonio Valencia’s somewhat forced transition from blazing winger to elderly full-back the football equivalent of placing a bandage on a broken leg?
According to Marca, La Liga leaders Barcelona have abandoned intentions to recruit a new right-sided defender, which may elicit a similarly disappointed response from the Blaugrana faithful.
Sergi Roberto is 31 years old. Sergino Dest does not meet the needed standard. However, Ronald Araujo and Jules Kounde are significantly more at ease in the center. And, in general, the less said about Hector Bellerin, the better.
But, with another summer of cost-cutting at Camp Nou approaching, it seems that Barcelona is reserving whatever finances they do have for other sections of Xavi’s team. This might help Manchester United, who just knocked Barcelona out of the Europa League.
Will Benjamin Pavard of Bayern Munich wind up at Manchester United?
According to The Athletic, United is in discussions with Bayern Munich’s Benjamin Pavard. The World Cup-winning France international is known for his thunderous long-range finishes. It is something that fans of Argentina and the Republic of Ireland will tell you. In 2022/23, he has seven goals for club and country.
Nevertheless, Pavard’s eye for the fantastic is not the only thing he brings to the table.
He’d come with an impressive collection of silverware, much like Casemiro and Lisandro Martinez. Pavard has won 13 trophies in his adult career, including three Bundesliga crowns with Bayern Munich. The 27-year-old is also quite flexible, capable of playing both right-back and center-half.
Diogo Dalot is still out, while Aaron Wan-Bissaka’s future is questionable. As a result, 90Min believes that Manchester United is also interested in Red Bull Salzburg’s newest youngster. Amar Dedic, a Bosnian youngster, is youthful, attack-minded, technically brilliant, and well-suited to Ten Hag’s approach.
Barcelona is also said to be interested in Dedic [Sport] and Pavard [ESPN]. Mundo Deportivo has also connected them to United’s Diogo Dalot.
Nevertheless, if Marca is correct and Barcelona will not sign a new right-back this summer, Manchester United may have a cleaner run at two prospective targets than they would have imagined.
In 2018, Bayern great Uli Hoeness stated Sport1: “(Pavard) will be one of the finest acquisitions we’ve ever made.”
“It seemed obvious to me that he might be a fantastic signing.” Especially due to his wonderful personality.”
Pavard may not have lived up to such lofty expectations. But, with his contract expiring and his гᴜмоᴜгed worth of £25 million, a player of his enormous experience, tactical versatility, and title-winning nous might prove to be a fantastic acquisition on and off the field (Sport1).
According to a fresh гᴜмоᴜг, Victor Osimhen has “one eye” on a transfer to Manchester United
According to a recent claim, Napoli attacker Victor Osimhen has ‘one eye’ on a summer transfer to Manchester United.
Cristiano Ronaldo’s departure from Manchester United in the winter transfer window exacerbated the club’s striker need. Anthony Martial, who spends the bulk of his time in the medical tent, was the only other option.
This resulted in Erik ten Hag signing Wout Weghorst on loan from Burnley, who has done a good job covering but is far from the final product required to play up top for a team of United’s status.
Victor Osimhen and Harry Kane are two of the hottest attackers in the world right now, and ten Hag is said to be interested in signing them before the summer. Yet, landing one of these targets may be challenging.
