Diaspora, Africa – (African Boulevard News) – Since Victor Osimhen’s price tag could make his transfer deal to Manchester United complicated, the club has started looking at alternatives to fill their striker role. Reports from reliable sources suggest that Manchester United is now considering a French star who currently plays for Eintracht Frankfurt.
Manchester United is in desperate need of a striker and has been eyeing the Nigerian, Osimhen for quite some time now. However, the deal’s complexity has led the club to scout for other options. According to sources, French forward Andre Silva is now a target for Manchester United as a potential alternative to Osimhen.
Silva, a former AC Milan player, joined Eintracht Frankfurt in 2019, initially on loan before he signed a permanent deal for a fee of €9 million. His impressive performance in the Bundesliga has caught the eye of Manchester United’s scouts, making him the preferred option if the Osimhen deal falls through.
Although there have been no official bids from Manchester United for Silva, the speculation is that Eintracht Frankfurt would demand a fee of €40 million for the striker. Manchester United is said to be contemplating the fee for the French striker, who scored 28 goals in all competitions last season for his club.
With the arrival of Silva, Manchester United would add a different dimension to their attacking force. He is a potent goal scorer and an excellent link-up player, and his experience in top-flight football would make him an ideal option for Manchester United.
Additionally, Silva’s versatility means that he can play in any attacking role, which would make him an ideal fit for United’s attacking squad. His potential arrival would add the much-needed firepower, which had been lacking in Manchester United’s frontline.
While there is no denying that Osimhen would have been a fantastic addition to the Manchester United squad, his price tag could have made the deal unattainable. In contrast, Andre Silva’s €40 million price tag seems more attainable. Silva is an experienced forward with undeniable potential, and his addition to Manchester United would undoubtedly bring some fruitful rewards.
In conclusion, Manchester United’s pursuit of a striker has led them to focus on alternative options, with Andre Silva topping their list. The Frenchman’s impressive performances at Frankfurt have caught the attention of Manchester United’s scouts. The pursuit of Silva is likely to continue, and only time will tell if he indeed becomes a Manchester United forward.
