The transfer wind in English football has picked up again: two key figures of Newcastle United - Anthony Gordon and Sandro Tonali - have become the focus of Manchester United's attention. Journalist Ben Jacobs reported this.
According to the source, the Red Devils' management is prepared to allocate a substantial budget to bring in these two players - the total cost is approximately €200 million. That is, "United" wants to openly launch a "large purchase" plan during this summer transfer window.
However, Newcastle United isn't a club that would accept such an offer saying "thank you, take it." On the contrary, they intend to retain team leaders - because it's not easy to find such players, especially when the season enters a decisive phase.
Statistics also show that this interest is not without reason. Gordon has appeared in 37 matches this season, scoring 14 goals and providing 5 assists - meaning he's providing a "set" of speed, pressure, and results. Tonali has played in 41 matches, scoring 2 goals and providing 5 assists - his contribution is most evident in controlling the game, maintaining tempo and balance.
In short, "United" wants to take two different profiles at the same time: one - a striker who makes the opponent tremble, the other - a center where there's a "brain" on the field. Now the intrigue is one: will Newcastle agree to the money or will they stand firm on the principle that "leaders are incorruptible"? In the transfer market, such series usually start in the most interesting part.
