Manchester United face competition in their pursuit of a Gremio star, while Arsenal are chasing a bargain midfielder deal, according to Thursday’s European papers.
BAYERN JOIN RACE FOR BRAZILIAN
Manchester United face competition from Bayern Munich in the race for Gremio star Everton Soares, according to the latest reports.
The Brazilian forward has been linked with a move to a number of sides in recent months, including the likes of Liverpool, Manchester City and AC Milan.
Paris Saint-Germain have also been credited with interested in the 23-year-old, who has previously admitted that he is aware of interest from abroad.
Gilmar Veloz, the player’s agent, recently addressed rumours of interest from City: “There is nothing. We have to be very careful, take responsibility with the fans, with me and the boy. We can’t create stories on something that does not exist.
“I’ve been there in January. In March, I went to see a game of the Portuguese Cup and I met Txiki [Begiristain]. We talked. At this point, he has more attackers than he could have.
There is no possibility of the sale. In football, you have to wait. If he sells two, three attackers, there may be [a possibility].
“The window in the Premier League runs from 8 July to 8 August. In other markets, it extends until September 3. The point is that, at the moment, there isn’t the slightest possibility.
“They have their priority. It’s not because Everton had good games that will rush out to buy him, things don’t work that way, but with planning. Everyone already knew Everton. But now he’s creating his space at the Seleção, consolidating himself. Everton will move on to another level. We have to be calm.”
Now, a report from TZ (via CaughtOffside) claims that Bayern Munich could join the race for the player as they have seemingly been defeated in their pursuit of both Callum Hudson-Odoi and Leroy Sane.
Recent speculation has suggested that Gremio are reportedly looking for a fee of around £36m (€40m) if they are to part with their prized asset.
The Bundesliga giants meanwhile recently lost both Franck Ribery and Arjen Robben after their contracts with the club expired, so they are in desperate need of replacements.
Everton scored 16 goals and assisted three in 37 games last season, and last month he seemingly issued a come-and-get-me plea to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
