MU has turned to three other transfer goals after deciding not to pursue Alexander Isak, the rebellious striker demanded to leave Newcastle United in the summer transfer window 2025.
The Swedish star expressed his desire to leave Newcastle, but the Red Devils confirmed that they would not compete to get his service. The main reason is at the price too high. Newcastle is said to only accept negotiations if they receive at least £ 150 million for Isak, a figure beyond the current budget of Man United.
Currently, Man United are looking for other options instead. The team of coach Ruben Amorim has not yet recruited a new striker after the failure to recruit Liam Delap. This young striker chose to join Chelsea.
After spending strongly to bring back Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo, MU is carefully considered about reasonable financial options. According to ESPN, 3 names are on the shortened list of Man United include: Ollie Watkins (Aston Villa), Randal Kolo Muorni (PSG) and Dusan Vlahovic (Juventus).
Although the departure of Marcus Rashford (to Barcelona on loan) helps to release a part of the salary fund and the transfer budget, but according to Mirror, the sale of more players is “mandatory” if Man United wants to carry out the next big deal.
With Watkins, Aston Villa clearly informed Man United that this player was not for sale. Even in January, Villa rejected bluntly offers worth £ 60 million from Arsenal for the British striker. This shows Villa's resolutely viewpoint.
Randal Kolo Muorni seems to be a more feasible goal. PSG is said to be ready for the French striker to leave after he completed last season on a loan at Juventus. However, Juventus is having difficulty in meeting the transfer fee that PSG requires to buy.
Kolo Muorni has been for sale to a number of big teams in Europe, including Chelsea and Arsenal but these two teams have now directed the attention to other goals. Newcastle may be a formidable competitor to Man United in this deal.
According to sources, PSG is willing to lend Kolo Muavi again, as long as the mandatory purchase terms at the end of the season. If direct transfer, PSG wants to earn about 50 million euros (equivalent to 43.65 million pounds).
Meanwhile, Dusan Vlahovic is also on the list of Juventus for sale when he has only one contract. However, Vlahovic is currently not rushing to leave and ready to stick with the Turin team until the maturity contract.
With Alexander Isak no longer a choice, Man United is entering the key stage to complete the attack before the summer transfer closed. And the three names above are the top goals in the brief list of the Old Trafford team.
