According to Italy's well-known transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Serie A powerhouse Napoli has proposed to Manchester United that it is willing to spend 400,000 euros on loan at centre-back Tuanzebi. Negotiations are underway and Tuanzebi is still playing for Aston Villa, who was originally loaned to the team for one season.
Napoli contacted Manchester United through an intermediary broker at the end of 2021, offering to rent first and then buy Tuanzebi. The 24-year-old Manchester United academy player, who has dual Citizenship of England and Congo, has been called up to the first team during mourinho's coaching days as Hefri Sanchez has been highly regarded for freezing Arsenal's "thighs". Ole Gunnar Solskjaer spoke highly of Tuanzebi when he was in charge, but did not give him many opportunities, although there were Champions League single-handed play by Mbappe and Neymar, but he was also scolded by fans for low-level mistakes.
This season, Tuanzebi was loaned to Villa and was able to play as a main player at first, but has recently lost his chance. The data shows that in the Premier League, he has only 6 starts and 3 substitutes. In December, Tuanzebi came off the bench twice, six minutes against Leicester City and two minutes against Norwich. The last time he started was on November 5, when he lost to Southampton, when the manager was not Gerrard.
Still, Villa boss and Liverpool legend Gerrard are still reluctant to let Tuanzebi go. In response to rumors that Tuanzebi was subleasing Napoli, Gerrard said he wanted Villa to keep him. "It's mainly in the hands of Axel (Tuanzebi) and Manchester United and we want him to stay here and it will be a pleasure if he stays at the club. We're not just going to go on loan until the end of the season, the club will think further and hopefully there will be an opportunity like that. He's a player we really appreciate and we all want him to play at least until the end of the season. But Axel is already an adult, and he can make his own decisions."
Vera played Brentford on Sunday, with Tuanzebi having a chance to fight for his first start under Gerrard as England international centre-back Myns was suspended.
But Romano revealed that Tuanzebi is open-minded about joining Napoli and is willing to leave Villa for the Maradona Stadium as long as United agree. In Serie A, there are many manchester United veterans, and they are all quite successful, Inter Milan's Damian and Sanchez have won the title, and Roma also have Smalling and Mkhitaryan.
Tuanzebi may have no future in the Manchester United squad, the 24-year-old has no age advantage, and Lonnick's Maguire, Varane, Lindelof and Eric Bai are all ranked before him, staying with the Red Devils as a substitute who cannot play, naturally it is better to play in other teams.
Currently, Manchester United's Swedish Iceman Lindlev is out of the squad due to COVID-19 infection, and his wife, Maya Nelson, revealed that 27-year-old Lindelof lives alone on the third floor of his home in isolation. The Sweden international has had bad luck lately, with heart problems in the Premier League match against Norwich, breathing difficulties and the need to wear a heart detector after the game. It was difficult to confirm that there was no problem, and it was positive in the new crown test.
Not only that, but because of the positive COVID-19, during the Christmas period, Lindelev could not spend the holidays with his wife and children, and the holiday party was canceled. Maya introduced: "Victor [Lindelev] is isolated on the 3rd floor, and my children and I are downstairs or outside. My test results have always been negative, but I still need to test often. I hope I,especially the children, don't be okay."
But Lindelev's body is not in serious trouble, and he can still play games. My wife introduced, "I heard him playing PlayStation upstairs and yelling."
