Manchester United eventually moved to recruit Victor Jockeres.
France's L'Equipe said on the 20th (Korea Standard Time) 'Manchester United have already signed striker Matheus Cunha from Wolverhampton, but they are still active in recruiting additional strikers to reinforce their offense. The recruitment of Yokeres, which has been in the works since a few weeks ago, is still actively progressing,' the report said.
The media said that as soon as the Europa League (UEL) final against Tottenham ends, Manchester United will accelerate negotiations to recruit Jockeres again. Hoobeng Amorim, the current Manchester United manager, explained, 'He has a high understanding of the players because he has experience coaching Jokeres when he was coach of Sporting Lisbon.
The whole world knows that Manchester United are aiming for a striker this summer. This is because strikers have been extremely sluggish since last season and are having a very difficult time. In particular, this season, Rasmus Hoylun and Joshua Zikrzy did not meet expectations at all, leading to a point where they had to buy a striker.
The target that coach Amorim wanted the most was, of course, Yokeres. Born in 1998, he is looking into his late 20s, but Jockeres is one of the best strikers in Europe at this point in time. Joquez, who began to be coached by Amorim when he moved to Sporting last season, bombed the Portuguese league perfectly.
He started to attract the attention of European big clubs by scoring 43 goals and 15 assists in 50 games, but the transfer failed due to the high buyout clause. It could have been a brilliant performance for a season, so the big clubs couldn't recruit Jockeres.
Joquez has grown further this season with 53 goals and 13 assists in 51 games. Sporting says it will send Yokeres for around 70 million euros (about 109.8 billion won) this summer. Joquez wants to move to a team he wants to play in the European Champions League (UCL) next season. If Manchester United wins the UEL, the conditions to embrace Jockeres will be completed.
L'Equipe said 'Jokeres and his aides had been hoping for months to confirm their future destinations as soon as possible, ideally within days of the opening of the transfer window. However, despite negotiations with Sporting to cut transfer fees, major clubs still seem to be delaying their decision. It is a situation that can work in Manchester United's favor. Manchester United is the first of the European big clubs to show specific interest,' he added.
