In our latest round-up of Manchester United transfer news, there’s some big developments in the Alexis Sanchez saga and others.
There’s also talk of a frankly ridiculous €500million bid that could stun world football, while Real Madrid also have big plans that could affect United.
So without further ado, here’s today’s big Manchester United transfer news all in one place for you…
Manchester United consider huge Neymar bid
Manchester United are reportedly prepared to pay as much as €500million to seal the sensational transfer of PSG forward Neymar.
This is according to Le 10 Sport, who also list Real Madrid as potential suitors for the Brazil international.
Neymar is already the most expensive footballer of all time after leaving Barcelona for Paris last summer, but could he now head to Old Trafford in an even bigger move?
Arsenal pull out of David Luiz transfer race
Manchester United have been boosted in their pursuit of Chelsea defender David Luiz with the news that Arsenal have ended their interest in him.
The Brazil international is no longer a regular for Antonio Conte’s side, but the Daily Express claim Arsenal are not willing to meet his wage demands.
This surely puts United in a commanding position to win the race for his signature, with Jose Mourinho in need of strengthening at the back this January.
Manchester United cleared to sign Jamie Vardy
In another exciting piece of Manchester United transfer news, Jamie Vardy may also be available after Chelsea announced they were not pursuing a deal.
Antonio Conte denied rumours linking Vardy with a move to Stamford Bridge, following reports that United had also held talks over the Leicester City striker.
The England international could be a fine backup for Romelu Lukaku after Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s injury, though he likely won’t come cheap as the Foxes don’t want to sell.
Arsenal ask for Alexis Sanchez swap deal
Manchester United may have to offer up one of their most exciting young forwards if they are to succeed in signing Arsenal star Alexis Sanchez.
According to the Daily Star, Arsenal have asked about landing Anthony Martial as part of the deal, which makes sense for them in their bid to replace the Chilean.
United may want to think twice about letting a top talent like Martial go, however, with the Frenchman showing real promise at points this season.
Real Madrid eye huge Tottenham raid
Real Madrid are being linked with a stunning triple raid on Tottenham for manager Mauricio Pochettino and star duo Harry Kane and Dele Alli.
Don Balon says the trio are on Florentino Perez’s radar, and this follows Manchester United also being linked with all three at various points this season.
Pochettino could be an ideal replacement if Mourinho joins PSG, while Kane and Alli would likely be upgrades on the likes of Lukaku and Henrikh Mkhitaryan in attack.
Manchester United get Malcom boost
Finally, Manchester United have also been boosted by the news that Tottenham are no longer in the transfer battle for Bordeaux starlet Malcom.
The young Brazilian has shone in Ligue 1 this season and is also on Arsenal’s agenda, but a £45million move to Old Trafford could now be on the cards.
Spurs dropping out should give the Red Devils an easier time of signing the 20-year-old, who could be a fine alternative to the likes of Sanchez and Alli in that attacking midfield role.
