Manchester United is closely monitoring Porto striker Samu Aghehowa in anticipation of the upcoming summer transfer window, as reported by CaughtOffside.
The promising 20-year-old has showcased exceptional talent for Porto this season, racking up an impressive total of 20 goals and three assists across all competitions.
Aghehowa was on the verge of joining Chelsea last summer, but instead made a surprising switch to Porto.
It’s evident why Chelsea showed interest in Aghehowa, who remains a target for several elite clubs.
Sources with insights into the situation reveal to CaughtOffside that Manchester United is competing with Barcelona, Bayern Munich, Tottenham Hotspur, and West Ham United in tracking Aghehowa.
Ruben Amorim Advocates for Samu Aghehowa’s Transfer
Ruben Amorim is reportedly a significant admirer of Aghehowa and is instrumental in driving Manchester United’s interest in the young striker. However, affordability remains a concern given United’s current financial situation.
With United’s finances being somewhat strained, they may need to consider player sales before pursuing any major transfers.
Barcelona is also keen on Aghehowa, with Lamine Yamal believed to be advocating for his international teammate’s arrival.
Although Barca may not urgently need a new center-forward, Aghehowa seems to be the ideal long-term successor for the aging Robert Lewandowski.
Bayern Munich, Tottenham, and West Ham are also in the market for new strikers this summer, with Aghehowa being considered as a viable option.
Porto is reluctant to part with their young forward, and it may take triggering his €100 million release clause to secure a transfer.
Manchester United has also shown interest in Viktor Gyokeres as a forward target, although Duncan Castles revealed on The Transfers Podcast that the Sporting Lisbon striker has rejected a move to Old Trafford.
Manchester United would greatly benefit from landing Aghehowa, and it is expected they will continue exploring potential attacking options as the summer approaches.
