Manchester United are reportedly interested in signing a midfielder during the summer transfer window, with Mason Mount being the most frequently mentioned name. However, recent reports suggest that United have also shown interest in Felix Nmecha from Wolfburg. According to reports, United have entered the race for the 22-year-old midfielder. Nmecha’s agent recently parted ways with him, and United have allegedly engaged in talks with the player’s father regarding a potential transfer. Additionally, since Nmecha has only one year remaining on his contract, there is a possibility of securing him for a reduced fee.

On the other hand, N’Golo Kante has been tempted by an offer from Al Ittihad. The Saudi Arabian club has reportedly offered him a two-year deal worth £172 million. Reports suggests that Kante is now on the verge of completing his move to Al Ittihad. The French star has played important role for Chelsea in their successful campaigns over the years. However, his influence has diminished due to injuries, and he missed last December’s World Cup while making only nine appearances for Chelsea last season.

Despite having a year remaining on his contract with Wolfsburg, the midfielder has attracted significant interest due to his impressive performances in German football. He joined Wolfsburg in the 2021/22 season, but his impact at the top level has caught the attention of other football clubs. According to reports, Manchester United have engaged in discussions with the father of Felix Nmecha regarding a potential transfer. With his one year remaining, he could be available for a transfer fee of approximately €15 million.

Al Ittihad’s offer for N’Golo Kante

According to various reports, N’Golo Kanté has completed a move to Al Ittihad in Saudi Arabia on a free transfer, joining his compatriot Karim Benzema at the club. The French midfielder has signed a contract until 2025 and will reportedly earn €100 million per season. This transfer marks Kanté’s departure from Chelsea after spending seven years at the club. Al Ittihad had reportedly expressed interest in signing Sergio Ramos, Karim Benzema and N’Golo Kante, of which two out of the three players are nearly confirmed.

Dybala’s agent clearing the speculations

Paulo Dybala’s agent, Jorge Antun, has dismissed the circulating quotes on social media regarding offers from Saudi Arabia as fake. He clarified that Dybala is currently on vacation and no decisions have been made regarding his future. Various tweets suggested that Dybala was open to considering offers from the Middle East in order to reunite with Cristiano Ronaldo. However, Antun has refuted these claims, stating that Dybala has not received any offers from Saudi Arabia.
