Man Utd ‘hold talks’ about beating Chelsea and Liverpool to £60m ace Lionel Messi loves.
Alexis Mac Allister, a star player for Brighton, has apparently been the subject of internal conversations at Manchester United. The 24-year-old was a standout in the Premier League this year and contributed to Argentina’s World Cup victory in Qatar the previous year.
Erik ten Hag has helped United turn things around this season, and after moving up to third in the Premier League standings, they appear certain to return to the Champions League next year. Since taking over, Ten Hag has spent enormous sums of money on a variety of players, but he will go back to the transfer market in the summer to assemble a team that can contend for additional trophies in the future.
The Red Devils have reportedly explored the possibility of signing Mac Allister, but it’s also important to keep an eye on Manchester City, Liverpool, and Chelsea as the competition for the player’s services heats up, according to CBS Sports. Although Mac Allister still has more than two years left on his current contract at the AMEX Stadium, Brighton could enable him to leave for £60m.
Having started six of Argentina’s seven World Cup games, Mac Allister was a key player for his nation. He provided an assist for Angel Di Maria in the championship game against France after scoring against Poland in the group stage.
Adam Lallana, the player’s Brighton teammate, even claimed that Mac Allister is a player Lionel Messi admires. At the World Cup, the former Liverpool star saw that one of his teammates in particular would go forward from midfield and take up a position higher up the pitch when Argentina’s Lionel Messi dropped deep and received the ball.
“In a similar vein, the same player will drop back in response to Messi’s high passes. On the field, they are on the same page, and Messi is always glad to pass the ball to him because he knows he will receive it back.
“That guy is my teammate at Brighton & Hove Albion, Alexis Mac Allister, and there aren’t many higher honors in football than Messi putting his trust in you, in my opinion. The highest kind of regard, it.
This summer, Mac Allister won’t lack for choices when it comes to selecting his next club. And if United can land the star, he might give Ten Hag’s squad the offensιυе oomph and championship-game experience they need to once again contend for the Premier League crown.
Two bidders ‘ignore’ demands as Raine Group are ‘surρгιsеd’ by ‘financial leaks’
Sir Jim Ratcliffe and Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al Thani, the two bidders for Manchester United, allegedly disregarded requests from acquisition brokers Raine Group.
The two known suitors for Manchester United, who were put up for sale by the Glazer family in November, are Ratcliffe and Sheikh Jassim.
About £6bn is the asking price that the present owners have set. It was anticipated that a takeover would be finalized early in 2023, but it is now known that the Glazer family is delaying this until the summer in order to get the highest price.
According to a recent article from Football Insider, Raine Group officials intended to “keep key parts of the process strictly confined,” but Ratcliffe and Sheikh Jassim allegedly disregarded their requests.
According to the source, the two companies’ initial offers were “between £4.5bn and £5bn” each.
When it came to “particular financial data,” such as “the anticipated structure and value of offers,” Raine Group was keen to keep them under wraps. But this ‘directive has been flouted’ on ‘many instances’.
A deal of this potential significance “would never have realistically anticipated to go through without leaks,” according to the Raine Group, but they have been “surρгιsеd” by the “amount of material” that has surfaced publicly.
Ratcliffe and Shaikh Jassim have been informed that they have “made it through to the next round of the process to buy Manchester United,” according to Sky Sports’ Kaveh Solhekol, who made the revelation earlier this week.
Solhekol said to Sky Sports, “It is really significant (news) since it implies the Glazer family is definitely serious about Man Utd.
According to our knowledge, the proposal from Sir Jim Ratcliffe and the bid from Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al Thani of Qatar have advanced to the next round. We have also been advised that there might be one additional unknown bidder.
“What does the following phase entail? Similar to when you want to buy a car, you see the advertisement online, you call and talk to someone about it, you learn the pricing, and now you get to have a test drive, which will be happening in the next weeks.
The potential buyers will travel to Old Trafford to meet Raine Group representatives, maybe run into Glazer family members, and receive access to comprehensive financial data on Manchester United. They must view the books and accounts in order to understand what is going on.
“After they’ve accomplished that, they can submit a firm bid for the club. Hence, if you are one of the many Man Utd supporters who want to see the Glazers go, you will be thinking this morning that the facт that the process is moving forward is excellent news.
