Man United transfer news – Axel Disasi
According to French media outletL’Equipe, Manchester United have not been deterred from pursuing Disasi despite Monaco demanding a fee of £43million.
The ɾєρօɾτ suggests the Red Devils are willing to pay the entirety of the central defєɴԀer’s price tag, while they have been handed a boost due to his desire to head to Old Trafford.
Respected journalist Romano recentlytold GIVEMESPORTthat there is a ‘good chance’ of Manchester United being able to agree personal terms with Disasi, meaning the main obstacle to overcome is negotiations with Monaco.
The France international moved onto ten Hag’sradarafter accepting defeat in his attempts to beat Bayern Munich to the signing of Kim Min-jae.
But Manchester United are not the only side looking to offer Disasi a route into the Premier League as Manchester City and Chelsea have alsoregistered an interestin recent months.
What has Fabrizio Romano said about Disasi?
Romano understands that Disasi is among Manchester United’s targets as they prepare to return to the Champions League in the upcoming campaign.
The transfer expert is aware that the Red Devils have already held talks with the 25-year-old’s entourage, while a big-money move is of interest to him – much like Rasmus Hojlund, as Romano alsotold GMS.
When asked who could strengthen ten Hag’s defensive options, Romano told GIVEMESPORT:”I will keep the name of Axel Disasi in the list.
“They spoke to the player’s side and the player would be really excited to join Manchester United. Disasi is a player they like.”
Could there be any Man United departures?
Manchester United may need to offload a centre-back before acquiring Disasi but, according toThe Guardian, it has become more difficult to find a buyer for Harry Maguire.
The ɾєρօɾτ suggests the England international was handed a considerable pay rise after the Red Devils booked their place in the Champions League thanks to finishing third in the Premier League last season.
Tottenham Hotspur and West Ham United have beenoffered the chanceto explore a Ԁєɑł for Maguire, but he has remained at Old Trafford for now.
It is understood that ten Hag is alsolooking to offloadAlex Telles, Eric Bailly, Brandon Williams, Fred and Scott McTominay as he aims to balance the books.
West Ham have beentrackingScotland international McTominay ahead of potentially heading to Manchester United with a proposal.

But Craven Cottage could be an alternative destination for the central midfielder as Fulham haveshown an interest, while he is available for a fee of £20million after entering the final 12 months of his contract.
