Alejandro Balde is one of a few left backs whom Manchester United are interested in. David Ramirez/Soccrates/Getty Images - Manchester United are stepping up interest in various left backs, with TEAMtalk reporting interest in three different options for the summer. Newcastle United's Lewis Hall is reported to be the preferred candidate for the role, though his £80 million valuation could restrict any possibility of an exit. Elsewhere, Eintracht Frankfurt defender Nathaniel Brown is also an option, though he has reportedly already agreed to a move to Bayern, and United could also move for Barcelona academy graduate Alejandro Balde as he faces an uncertain future because he has only two years left on his contract.
- Real Madrid will launch a €150 million offer to sign Bayern Munich winger Michael Olise if Florentino Perez wins the club's presidential election this weekend, reports The Guardian. The 79-year-old is standing for reelection against Enrique Riquelme -- who has claimed he will target Erling Haaland and Rodri -- and has made a pledge to offer a fee of €150 million to bring in an unnamed player. While Perez denied this was Olise in his news conference a few days ago, the report claims that the winger is in fact the No. 1 target. The 24-year-old has been a key player for Bayern since signing for €60 million from Crystal Palace in 2024, scoring 42 goals and assisting 54 times in just over 100 appearances.
