Arsenal is only one last step away from introducing Jekelais. Manchester United doesn t give up and finds another good opportunity to intercept the bell

Arsenal Club is still negotiating with Portugal Sports on a transfer for striker Victor Djekelais. After successfully signing Brian Mbemo, Manchester United has shifted its focus to signing a pure striker. The latest reports show that the Red Devils once again have the opportunity to intercept Arsenal and sign Dzekelish from Portugal Sports.

Although Arsenal and Portugal Sports have reached an agreement on the basic transfer agreement, the final negotiations between the two sides on the transfer of Tzekelish have not been completed. The total cost framework of approximately €73.5 million has been recognized, however the specific details of the additional clauses remain at the disagreement between the two parties. Portuguese sports are increasingly frustrated by this, and they are also dissatisfied with Dzekelish's behavior throughout the transfer process. Earlier this week, several Portuguese media reported that Manchester United, who had long been paying attention to Dzekelash, might make a offer.

According to well-known transfer reporter Fabrizio Romano, the middleman and agent who are close to Portugal Sports contacted Manchester United on Monday night local time to invite the Red Devils to try to intervene and intercept Arsenal's offer to Dzekelish. However, after learning of this proposal, Tzekelish once again confirmed to both Portugal Sports and Arsenal that he only wants to transfer to Arsenal's home Emirates Stadium, thus ruled out the possibility of joining Manchester United.

"The Athletic" pointed out that Manchester United is currently seeking to sign a new center after finalizing Mbemo's deal. Manchester United coach Ruben Amorin is a super fan of Dzekelash, and the two have worked together at Portugal Sports. Manchester United did ask about introducing the Swedish international, but the players' determination to join Arsenal made the transfer unsuccessful.

In addition, Manchester United's contact with French striker Hugo Ekitic, who is about to join Liverpool, also failed last week. Meanwhile, RB Leipzig's Benjamin Sheshko, Aston Villa's Oli Watkins and Chelsea's Nicholas Jackson are all considered to be too high for the current price. Therefore, Manchester United is investing more energy in finding alternatives. In addition to the center position, Manchester United also hopes to introduce a new defensive midfielder and a new goalkeeper. However, the progress of these two signings will largely depend on the amount of funds the club can raise through the sale of players.
