According to the Mirror, Manchester United are watching Eindhoven striker Gakpo and Portuguese sports midfielder Palinja.
About Gackbo
Lonnick has been keeping an eye on the Dutch striker, who has been examined several times this season by Manchester United scouts, who is seen as one of the best young strikers in Europe, with Ghackpo scoring 13 goals and 13 assists in all competitions this season.
Manchester United boss Lonnick has asked United's scouting team to scout Gakpo, who recently watched Eindhoven beat Maccabi Tel Aviv in the first leg of the UEFA Cup knockout play-off, in which Gakpo scored the winning goal.
Because there is uncertainty between Cristiano Ronaldo and Cavani from the long-term perspective of the team, and Greenwood has been suspended due to off-field factors, Manchester United are looking for offensive player reinforcement in the transfer market.
Gakpo's existing contract with Eindhoven expires in 2026 and the player is worth 22 million euros.
Palinja has just signed a new contract with Sporting Portugal for 2026, which, according to the Mirror, is more about protecting the value of the players.
The termination clause in the current player's contract is close to £50 million, but Sport of Portugal is willing to hear an offer of £20 million plus additional terms based on the player's performance.
The Mirror revealed that Manchester United scouts have watched at least eight Palinia games this season, and Manchester United have the pre-emptive right to buy the Portuguese midfielder, but they must give a commitment to bring in Palinia by the first week of June, otherwise Portugal Sport will communicate with other teams about player transfers.
At the same time, Atletico are also interested in Palinia, but their offer is difficult to meet the requirements of Portuguese sports; in addition, Wolves have also expressed interest in Palinia, but the player has no intention of joining.
The 26-year-old, Who plays as a defensive midfielder, scored three goals in 30 appearances for the team this season and is worth 26 million euros.
