Davide Frattesi, an international midfielder for Italy, has been linked to Manchester United.
The 23-year-old has established himself as an integral member of the national squad and has been a key first-team player for Sassuolo this season.
The Red Devils, who lack reinforcements in central midfield, may find that the highly regarded box-to-box midfielder is a wise investment.
Casemiro needs a good companion, and the 23-year-old Italian meets the bill, according to Erik ten Hag. The 23-year-old is a hard-working midfielder who will contribute defensively in addition to his ability to set up and score goals.
The Italian, who has seven league goals this year, will get better with training and experience.
According to a report from Football Insider, the player is also a top priority for Brighton and Hove Albion. The 23-year-old Italian may replace Alexis Mac Allister, who the Seagulls anticipate losing in the summer.
It is debatable whether Manchester United will be able to close the deal despite having more clout and financial means than Brighton to sign the midfielder.
In addition, if Manchester United wins the remaining games, they will participate in the UEFA Champions League the next campaign. That might offer them a significant advantage in the battle for transfers. Brighton is not likely to place among the top four, and they lack the resources to compete with Manchester United financially.
Frattesi's transition to the Premier League would present an intriguing challenge, and the Italian may be eager to join a prestigious team like Manchester United.
Euro Giants close to hijacking Premier League star
Due to the player's focus on a transfer to FC Barcelona, Manchester United's chances of acquiring Ruben Neves from Wolverhampton Wanderers have been adversely affected.
After struggling at various points during the season without Casemiro and Christian Eriksen, the Red Devils are in desperate need of midfield reinforcement.
While the latter is perhaps the only member of the club who can aid the team advance the ball from deep, United struggled to shelter their defense without the former.
Neves, who is worth €40 million according to Transfermarkt, possesses the skills to succeed in either position. His passing range and tactical awareness are two of his strongest attributes.
But even though the Premier League midfielder's contract is slated to end in 13 months, it doesn't seem like Old Trafford will be the player's last destination.
According to dependable journalist Fabrizio Romano, the Portuguese sensation will hold out for a transfer to the Catalan giants.
“Ruben Neves will wait for Barcelona as he agreed terms on potential long-term contract,” Romano wrote in his column for CaughtOffside. “He’s hoping for a move to Barca, but is not the main priority for Xavi right now.”
Barcelona is most likely going to wait until 2024, when they will be able to sign the Wolves captain for free. Neves appears to be willing to wait, as the player is content enough at his current team to stay for another year, despite the fact that his Champions League hopes are a top priority.
“I want to be at Wolves but I never hide that I want to play UCL football,” he said.
“It’s hard decision. I love it here but in football you’ve to go for main goals. Nothing has happened yet.”
As Erik ten Hag's team needs to be strengthened for the upcoming season, Manchester United has been linked with a number of midfielders around Europe. It appears that the Red Devils will have to keep looking.
