Man United set £35-40m price for sale – ‘Thrilling signs’ transfer will occur
Scott McTominay is still’very keen’ in playing for Bayern Munich, thus Manchester United has placed a price tag of £35-40 million on his head.
According to BILD, who say the German champions want to ‘get things moving’ on their long hunt for a midfielder, there is a ‘exciting hint’ that the player they’ll get is Manchester United’s McTominay.
This information comes from the German publication’s report that the German champions want to ‘get things moving’ on their long hunt for a midfielder.
The article said that Bayern are’very interested’ in the player who is 26 years old and that they would be pleased to take him on either a loan or a permanent basis before the transfer window closes.
Tuchel is able to “well imagine” the deal taking place, but there is a stumbling block in the form of Manchester United’s “required transfer fee,” which is between £35 and £40 million. That is the same as forty-one to forty-seven million euros, which is a’very substantial amount’ for Bayern to pay.
It appears that they either cannot or would prefer not to pay such a sum, but Manchester United has indicated that they ‘would be willing’ to negotiate a deal and are already considering Pierre-Emil Hojbjerg as a potential replacement for their current center back.
A deal for McTominay would be considered somewhat of a “transfer turnaround” for Bayern, particularly in light of Uli Hoeneß’s recent assertion that the team currently had players of the highest caliber.
This indicated that there would not be any fresh signings made, but McTominay would solve another problem for Bayern and help cover for a likely exit of Benjamin Pavard.
It is speculated that if McTominay were to join the team from Manchester United, fellow midfielder Konrad Laimer would be able to switch positions and play right back, which would prevent a void in the middle of the field.
However, at the present time it seems as though there is a discrepancy on the asking price, which is something that would need to be settled before McTominay could play at the Allianz Arena. That is a notion for the future.
