MU was interested in Dibu Martinez from the beginning of the summer transfer window, but could not reach a common voice with Aston Villa.

According to The Sun, when Andre Onana and Altay Bayindir both disappointed, MU decided to recruit the Argentine goalkeeper to bring peace of mind in the goal.

Aston Villa are demanding a transfer fee of £40 million for Dibu Martinez. However, the 2022 World Cup winner is completely worthy of this figure.

Initially, Chelsea wanted Piero Hincapie - who can play left-back and center-back - but Bayer Leverkusen flatly refused.

Therefore, Chelsea's representative is looking for a way to attract Bastoni. The Blues' initial offer of 50 million euros received a shake of the head from Inter Milan.

Transfermarkt rates Bastoni, Pau Cubarsi (Barcelona) and William Saliba (Arsenal) as the three most valuable central defenders at the moment. Therefore, Chelsea is urgently selling Axel Disasi to have more budget to recruit the Italian defensive star.

Sources from Italy said Napoli contacted MU again about Rasmus Hojlund - who was eliminated from Ruben Amorim's plans but still refused to leave.

Coach Antonio Conte highly rates Hojlund. Therefore, Napoli is hoping to convince the Danish striker to agree to return to Italian football .

In addition, Napoli's plan also includes Joshua Zirkzee - another face without a position at MU, and Artem Dovbyk of AS Roma.
