DBasia.news – Competition between Barcelona and Manchester United may be presented in the transfer market next winter. Both clubs were after the same target.
The winter transfer market is just over three months away. However, a number of clubs seem to have started maneuvering to sign their targeted players.
Barcelona and Manchester United are known to plan to bring in a new right-back in January. This position is still a weak point for both teams.
Barcelona did not have time to bring in a new right-back after releasing Sergino Dest last summer. Instead, Jules Kunde, who was also recently signed, often fills the position even though he is originally a central defender.
Meanwhile, Manchester United also failed to bring in a new right-back to compete with Diogo Dalot. Uniquely, the Red Devils had been offered Dest by Barcelona.
Now these weaknesses will be mended by two clubs next winter. Interestingly, Barcelona and Manchester United are both aiming for Vanderson.
Vanderson is a young right-back belonging to AS Monaco. The 21-year-old player was actually signed by the French club in January last year.
In a short time, Vanderson was able to show his quality. He has recorded two goals and three assists in 33 matches with Monaco.
Even so, Monaco will not let Vanderson go just like that. A high value of around 60 million euros is ready to be installed to make Barcelona and Manchester United back down.
Barcelona and Manchester United’s efforts to bring in Vanderson will be even more challenging with the emergence of Newcastle United as another competitor. The Magpies now have unlimited funds after being acquired by the prince of Saudi Arabia, Mohammed bin Salman.
