Manchester United seeks to buy Watkins, transfers are deadlocked

July 31 In this transfer window, Manchester United's forward signings frequently, Watkins became one of their targets, but this potential deal was in a deadlock.

As early in January this year, Arsenal had been looking to buy Watkins. At that time, Villa held on to a price of 60 million pounds, but the deal failed, and this price was still Villa's bottom line for selling Watkins this summer. As Hoylen and Zilker performed less than expected last season, Manchester United coach Amorin was eager to introduce a new striker and Watkins entered the field of vision. But Manchester United's valuation is only in the range of £40 million to £45 million, which is a significant gap with Villa's asking price.

Vera has a tough attitude and emphasized that the Watkins contract will only expire in 2028, and will never let anyone go unless there is a quote that is far beyond the psychological expectations. Furthermore, less than two weeks after the start of the new season, Villa was unable to find a suitable replacement for a while, which also strengthened their determination to keep Watkins. = Compared to Watkins, Sesco, who is also a target for signing, is 7 years younger and is regarded as a more promising long-term choice. However, Leipzig asked Sesco for nearly 80 million pounds, and Newcastle was interested in it, and competition was fierce. Manchester United has spent more than 130 million pounds this summer to sign Mbemo and Cunha, with financial difficulties. At present, Manchester United's top priority is to clear up redundant staff. If you want to successfully introduce new strikers, it is imperative to sell Anthony, Sancho, Garnacho and Maracia to recover funds. Fans are waiting and seeing how this transfer game around Watkins ends.
