Arsenal have set their sights on joining the race to sign Bayern Munich full-back Alphonso Davies, provided he lets his contract expire this summer. The Gunners are competing with the likes of Manchester United, Real Madrid, Liverpool and Chelsea. (The Athletic)
Manchester United’s bid to sign AC Milan left-back Theo Hernandez has been given a boost by Real Madrid’s decision to back out of a 50 million euro (£41 million) deal. (Fichajes – Spain)
A cheaper option at left-back for United has emerged in the form of a former player. Ruben Amorim is interested in bringing Alvaro Fernandes back to Old Trafford just six months after being sold to Benfica. The move could be prompted by the left-back’s £16.5m buy-back clause.
