A pair of Argentina stars are weighing up moves to Manchester United amid talk of a £120m double swoop, while a popular star looks destined to leave Liverpool in 2020, according to Sunday’s newspapers.
UNITED EYEING RAIDS ON PSG AND INTER MILAN
Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer £120million-rated Argentina internationals Lautaro Martinez and Leandro Paredes in his sights, according to reports.
That’s according to the Sunday Mirror, who claims the two players are well aware of United’s interest in them and are both weighing up potential moves.
Inter Milan striker Martinez is also wanted by Barcelona and it seems the Italian giants will have a hard time retaining his services with the player having scored five times in six Champions League outings.
Midfielder Parades, meanwhile, could prove a successor to Nemanja Matic in the United midfield, with the Serbian likely to move on next month.
Paredes joined PSG last January from Zenit St Petersburg but has only played 25 times for the club and featured just four times this season as he struggles to make an impression on coach Thomas Tuchel.
Quite how the Mirror claims the duo will cost £120m, however, does appear baffling, given Martinez would only likely move for the €111m exit fee that exists in his contract.
Either way, Solskjaer does appear ready to make some moves in January on the transfer front, saying earlier this week: “We are looking to strengthen in many positions.
“We are getting there but we still need two or three players to have enough numbers.”
