Transfer rumors, news: Boniface tops Man Utd's striker search
Manchester United have added Bayer Leverkusen striker Victor Boniface to their shortlist, while Ruben Amorim's side will also face competition from Liverpool in the race for Atalanta midfielder Éderson. Join us for the latest transfer news, rumours, and gossip from around the globe.
- Manchester United are interested in Bayer Leverkusen striker Victor Boniface, according to Sky Sports Deutschland's Florian Plettenberg. The 23-year-old is reported to be one of several options on their shortlist for a new No. 9, and they could make an approach next summer. Boniface has continued his impressive form in the Bundesliga this season with six goals in 10 matches, though a recent injury sustained on international duty with Nigeria means he is set to be out of action until around January.
- Man United boss Amorim is also being linked with a move for Wolverhampton Wanderers left-back Rayan Aït-Nouri. The Algeria international will move into the final year of his contract next summer, and The Sun reports that he is looking for a new challenge. The Red Devils have had problems in the position for some time, and the 23-year-old has the right age and profile to fit into Amorim's tactical formation as an attacking wing-back.
- An offer worth €60 million will be required to land Atalanta midfielder Éderson, says Nicolo Schira. Both Manchester United and Liverpool are said to be keen on signing the 25-year-old, who has also been linked with Manchester City, but the Serie A club have made their intentions clear of only looking at proposals next summer. He has made 13 league appearances this season, scoring his second goal of the campaign in Saturday's 3-1 win over Parma.
- Real Madrid are willing to part ways with full-back Fran García in order to make space for Bayern Munich left-back Alphonso Davies, reports Sport. The LaLiga giants are open to accepting an offer worth between €15m and €20m for the 25-year-old, amid belief that Davies has already given the green light to a switch to the Santiago Bernabeu on a free transfer. Davies, 24, is set to enter the final six months of his contract at the Allianz Arena in January, when he will be free to discuss official terms on a pre-contract agreement.
