Newcastle United is a rival for Manchester United’s £17 million summer transfer target Serhou Guirassy, according to SportBILD via SportWitness.

The 27-year-old striker for VfB Stuttgart has scored 19 goals this season in all competitions, and the Premier League pair has taken notice of his play.

According to a report from SportBILD that appears in print form, Guirassy is “on the list” of targets at Old Trafford as Erik ten Hag wants to bolster his front line in the summer, according to SportWitness.

According to the source, Guirassy’s contract contains a release clause of just £17 million, which is a great deal given his true worth of closer to £34 million. As a result, United may be persuaded to formally express interest in the player throughout the upcoming months.

They are not, however, the only team expressing interest in the striker; according to SportBILD, Newcastle, Bayern Munich, and Borussia Dortmund are all quite interested.

Encouragement
Rasmus Hojlund is gradually adjusting to English football, but he still needs more offensive help. It could have been a good idea for the Red Devils to sign a seasoned forward in the summer. Guirassy is a cheap option for a goal striker with Bundesliga experience.

Manchester United needs to use every effort to complete the transaction. Being one of the largest teams in the world, they ought to be able to handle rivalry from teams like Newcastle.

At the height of his powers, Guirassy would be best served by a transfer to the Premier League. In England, he will aim to demonstrate his mettle against the world’s top defenders.

Furthermore, he may receive a larger salary at Manchester United than he does at Stuttgart, which would definitely persuade him to transfer to Old Trafford.

Manchester United has to fill the holes in their roster during the summer transfer window if they are to contend for major titles in the upcoming seasons.

Guirassy might prove to be a wise acquisition if Manchester United decides to make a play for him because the Red Devils will become a stronger team next season thanks to more depth and competition for spots.
