Ralf Rangnick turns attentions to Manuel Akanji and more Manchester United transfer rumours
10.02.2022 - 00:47 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Ralf Rangnick is reportedly eyeing up Borussia Dortmund defender Manuel Akanji amid suggestions he could leave the Bundesliga club this summer.
Dortmund are set to bring in Bayern Munich’s Niklas Sule at the end of the season on a free transfer, which has raised questions over Akanji’s future with the club.
The 26-year-old has been a regular this season, but could well end up making way for Sule, with United said to be keen on taking Akanji off Dortmund’s hands.
According to Bild, Sule had been Rangnick’s ‘number one candidate’, but with the Germany international instead heading to the Westfalenstadion instead, the interim United boss has turned his attentions to Akanji.
The Switzerland international is under contract until next year, but has reportedly already rejected the offer of a new deal, and is said to want to earn at least double the wages he is currently on.
Bild also suggest that Dortmund will be looking for a fee of at least €25million in order to part ways with the defender.
Elsewhere, United are also being linked among a host of big clubs looking to sign French star Hugo Ekitike after Newcastle’s failure to land him in January.
The 19-year-old was the subject of a failed deadline day move from the Magpies, and that has reportedly opened the door for other Premier League sides to try and swoop in this summer.
The Reims forward has 12 goal contributions from 19 Ligue 1 outings this season, with his performances alerting some of the biggest sides in Europe.
According to 90min, United are among those sides interested, along with Chelsea, Liverpool and Arsenal.
Ekitike chose to stay in France after Newcastle made a last-minute decision to approach Reims, with the Ligue 1 side accepting the late bid.
