Man Utd have already tied up the signing of Sporting Lisbon centre-back Goncalo Inacio ahead of the summer transfer window, according to reports.
The Red Devils are looking to increase their transfer budget this summer by selling some of the players they no longer need with Casemiro, Jadon Sancho .
That should boost their budget and allow to bring in some young, hungry players who have the ability to make a difference right away after their disappointing eighth-placed finish this season.
Bringing in at least one new centre-back has become a priority for the Red Devils with transfer expert Fabrizio Romano revealing on Tuesday that Inacio, Jean-Clair Todibo, Jarrad Branthwaite and Gleison Bremer were four of their top targets.
: United are also working on a right footed centre-back as a priority this summer Jean-Clair Todibo, Jarrad Branthwaite and Gleison Bremer are on the list, but they also want one more centre-back a left footed one. It’s not decided yet but it’s a possibility they are considering internally, and one player they have been scouting is Goncalo Inacio from Sporting Lisbon.
Inacio is being scouted and monitored by United, but also by Liverpool, and he has a €60m release clause in his contract with Sporting. These clubs are showing an interest in Inacio, so let’s see if they decide to start a proper negotiation. This could be an interesting situation to follow as many clubs around Europe are looking for left footed centre-backs, and United and Liverpool could be in the race for Inacio so keep an eye on this one.
And now reports in Portugal are claiming that Man Utd have tied up a deal for Inacio with the Premier League side willing to pay €60m (£51m) for his services.
The potential arrival of Inacio represents a significant step in the restructuring plans of new co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe and the Portugal international could bring a new dimension to the English team s game .
The report adds: With a firm offer and the possibility of securing the player s signature before other clubs, the Red Devils demonstrate their ambition and his commitment to building a team capable of achieving great achievements in the coming season.
