Man United Transfer Talks on Napoli star and Dean Henderson
Erik ten Hag stated that Manchester United must make personnel investments this summer. He has informed the club’s executives of his transfer window intentions.
Having identified the top three positions of need, let’s discuss some United transfer rumors involving Dean Henderson and Kim Min-jae. Let’s begin with the center-back for Napoli.
United are reportedly poised to activate the €60 million release clause of the 26-year-old South Korean player, according to Calciomercato.
The clause can be activated between July 1 and July 15, and United currently require depth at center back. Especially considering how poorly Harry Maguire performed and how desperate the club will be to offload him this summer.
According to the reports, the two parties have agreed to a contract worth €7 million per season. United have struggled for nearly a decade to find reliable, consistent center back play, so this is a perfect fit.
In recent years, they have signed a number of central defenders, but many of them have failed miserably.
Now let’s move on to the position directly behind the CBs, which is goalkeeper.
Nottingham Forest desires to recruit Manchester United goalkeeper Dean Henderson on a permanent basis.
According to numerous reports in a variety of media outlets, including Sky Sports, Forest “are expected to approach United for talks in the coming days.”
Henderson, 26 years old, spent the previous season on loan with Tricky Trees, making 20 appearances in all competitions before suffering a season-ending quadriceps injury in January.
The English international has two years remaining on his contract, with a club option for a third. This could be advantageous for all parties involved. Henderson desires a position in which he is the leader.
Forest avoided relegation late in the season, and now that they will remain in the Premier League, they will need a goalkeeper of his caliber. United will re-sign David de Gea this summer, while rearranging the goalkeepers behind him and, presumably, grooming his successor.
