Ruben Amorim Wants Man Utd To Sign Alphonso Davies

Ruben Amorim Wants Man Utd To Sign Alphonso Davies

According to journalist Christopher Michel, Manchester United are still interested in signing Bayern Munich left-back Alphonso Davies on a free transfer next summer, as reported by Football Talk.

The Red Devils currently have Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia as their specialist left-back options, but both have been injury-prone for some time. Hence, Man Utd may want a more reliable figure going forward and Michel claims that Davies is the dream option for manager Ruben Amorim.

Davies has predominantly played as a left-back for Bayern, but he is considered by United as a solution for the left wing-back position in a 3-4-3 set-up. Davies’ deal at Bayern expires at the end of June 2025 and he is free to negotiate a pre-contract with a foreign club at the turn of the year.

Quality
Luke Shaw has been United’s main outlet from the left-back position, but he has suffered plenty of injuries in his career. He has struggled to handle a heavy workload over multiple months and United need a more reliable option going forward.

Malacia was considered as a proper back-up when he first arrived at the club, but there are concerns over him too. The Dutchman has returned to training lately, but he has not played a competitive game of any form since the summer of 2023.

There is a possibility that one of the duo could be offloaded next summer. Davies would be a superb replacement as he has the attributes to suit Amorim’s tactics. Davies has played as a regular winger when on international duty with Canada.

The £42 million-rated star assumes a defensive role with Bayern. His defensive and attacking attributes make him an ideal fit for the left wing-back role.

In the current season, Davies has three assists for Bayern. He has also been brilliant defensively with 5.4 duels and 1.7 tackles won per appearance with 6.4 recoveries. He has averaged almost 2 take-ons per Bundesliga outing under manager Vincent Kompany.

Davies, who has been described as ‘world-class‘ by Bundesliga.com, would be a fabulous signing on a free transfer for United. The big question mark is whether they can persuade him to join them amid their lack of progress in the Premier League.

Barcelona Express Interest In Bosman Deal For Tottenham Target; Arsenal Also Keen

Tottenham Hotspur have been looking to bring in a fullback (particularly a left back) in the 2025 transfer interval as the North Londoners look to add more depth and dynamism in the position given consistent injuries to Destiny Udogie, and the Lilywhites have reportedly identified Crystal Palace ace Tyrick Mitchell as a potential target.

The 25-year-old has been impressing at Selhurst Park with not only his attacking contributions but also his solid defensive performances, which makes him an attractive option for the Lilywhites. Moreover, the England international’s ability to play in a traditional full-back role as well as in a more advanced wing-back role.

This versatility and ability are something Ange Postecoglou has used well with Ugodie, and he wouldn’t mind having a player with similar intent in his roster.

Tottenham have competition to sign Mitchell

The North Londoners bid to bring Mitchell to White Hart Lane won’t be an easy one with Spanish giants Barcelona expressing interest in his signature, per the latest report by Sport.

Mitchell will be free to negotiate a pre-agreement with the Catalan giants next month given his contract situation with the Eagles, and he could be ready to take the next steps in his career.

Spurs north London rivals Arsenal are also in the run for the 25-year-old’s signature.

Juventus Want To Seal Move For Milan’s Fikayo Tomori Quickly

Serie A giants Juventus are keen to sign Milan defender Fikayo Tomori and want to seal their move quickly.

La Gazzetta dello Sport report today that Milan and Juve could meet each other on the negotiation table right after they play their games in the Supercoppa Italiana.

Tomori is someone that Juve have liked in the past and his name is at the top of the club’s shortlist again, largely due to his low gametime at Milan.

Negotiations with the Englishman will be unrelated to those involving Pierre Kalulu. Milan are open to selling the player but do not want to make any discounts. Juve are looking to close the move as soon as they can once they return from Saudi Arabia and want to get a deal done for a package that could be upto €25 million.

It could be an initial loan deal with the obligation to buy, with manager Thiago Motta already having given approval for the move.

PSG Ready To Hand Bukayo Saka Injury Solution To Arsenal With Transfer Proposal

Bukayo Saka Update Emerges After He Went Off Injured Against Crystal Palace On Saturday

Paris Saint-Germain are likely to offer Arsenal the chance to sign out-of-favour forward Randal Kolo Muani.

Arsenal have been hit with the news that star man Bukayo Saka will be ruled out for ‘many weeks’ with a hamstring tear and are weighing up whether to find a solution to his absence in the January transfer window. Saka, 23, has played the fourth-highest amount of minutes among Arsenal’s outfielders this season and the Gunners don’t have a natural right winger to replace him with.

His injury has given Mikel Arteta a dilemma as the winter window nears but PSG could have the answer to his problem in the shape of Randal Kolo Muani. The 26-year-old was signed for £64.2m in the summer of 2023, having shone for Eintracht Frankfurt, when he attracted interest from Manchester United. Kolo Muani was expected to play a larger role under Luis Enrique following the departure of Kylian Mbappe, but he’s only started two matches in Ligue 1 this season and played just 28 minutes of football in the last month.

The France international has now been made available on loan, despite being under contract until 2028, and the Evening Standard report that the French champions will offer him to a number of clubs in January, including Arsenal.

Saka’s absence has been compounded by an injury Raheem Sterling, who would’ve been in contention to replace him in the Gunners’ starting line-up against Ipswich Town on Boxing Day. Asked about the prospect of signing a replacement for Saka next month, Arteta insisted that his focus is on players who are already at the club.

“My focus honestly now is just about within the squad the resources we have to be as competitive as we possibly can,” the Arsenal manager said. “We have many, many options to do that. And if something unbelievable [becomes] available and if the club is willing to do it, we’ll have to consider it.”

“Obviously we didn’t predict a situation with Bukayo and Raheem at the same time. We predicted more it would be something else, for example if something happened in the defensive line, but the job is done.

“Then, okay, if something has to happen, we will be open. But the main focus is now, how will we extract still a lot of potential that there is in this squad.”
