Manchester United Drop Interest in Harry Kane Amidst Reports of Barcelona Offloading Major Players.
Manchester United have dropped their interest in Harry Kane as they don’t believe Tottenham will negotiate a reasonable transfer fee for the England striker. This comes amid reports that Barcelona are looking to offload several high-profile players this summer in order to balance their books.
The Catalan giants are reportedly willing to show Frenkie de Jong, Ansu Fati, Ferran Torres, Raphinha and Nico Gonzalez the exit door. This news could have huge consequences for other European clubs in terms of transfer activity as it has been reported that Paris Saint-Germain are ready to negotiate a deal with Real Madrid over Kylian Mbappe should he not agree to sign a new contract at the Parc des Princes.
French president Emmanuel Macron has also weighed in on the situation and stated that he will personally try to convince Mbappe to stay with PSG. This could make it difficult for Madrid to sign the star striker as they would have to pay a hefty fee should they wish to acquire his services.
In other transfer news, Manchester United are said to be monitoring the situation of Ousmane Dembele, who is currently on loan at Borussia Dortmund from Barcelona. United feel they could make a move for the Frenchman should Barca decide to offload the former Liverpool target this summer.
Meanwhile, Arsenal have been linked with a move for Inter Milan midfielder Marcelo Brozovic as Mikel Arteta looks to revamp his midfield options. The Croatian international has been an integral part of Antonio Conte’s side this season and could be tempted to move away from the Nerazzurri should a suitable offer arise.
All in all, it looks as though this summer’s transfer window is set to be one of the most exciting in recent memory with some major clubs expected to make big moves. With Barcelona reportedly looking to offload several players, there could be some significant repercussions for the transfer market across Europe.
