Vielen herzlichen Glückwunsch an „Jeremy Frimpong“, der heute seinen Vertrag mit Bayer Leverkusen beendet und gleichzeitig einen neuen Vertrag mit…
Barcelona have reportedly already put in a lower offer but “Frimpong, for now, wants to wait for the Euro Cup to end” before making a decision on his future.
It is also reported that Bayer Leverkusen “would be open to players entering the deal” with Ansu Fati suggested as a possibility to include in a hypothetical deal with the Germans with a market value of €10-15 million.
In terms of a straight cash deal, Barcelona don’t seem such a huge threat as they are “paralyzed by financial fair play and returning to the 1:1 rule” in La Liga which drastically restricts the business Spanish sides can do.
If United were able to sell Wan-Bissaka it would seem they could easily outspend Barcelona and put a much more attractive offer on the table than the Catalans.
Following Casemiro’s decline in form this season as well as his switch to centre-back and Sofyan Amrabat’s underwhelming loan at United this past season, the club appears to be in dire need of a holding midfielder who can truly provide adequate support to United’s defence while driving the team’s midfield game.
If last season’s performances were anything to go by, Palhinha may be just the player that United needs in order to fill this role.
In 33 Premier League matches for Fulham, including 31 starts, the 28 year old proved to be a vital link in his team’s midfield, with 83% passing accuracy. He exhibited strong physicality, winning 61% of his total duels, while completing 55% of his attempted dribbles.
