De Gea, not Lloris?…Man Utd hijacking ‘Tottenham target’
Manchester United is trying to recruit Jordan Pickford (28, Everton).
The British ‘Sports Bible’ said on the 10th (Korean time), “Man United is considering signing Pickford and will persuade him to proceed with negotiations. I’m willing to offer Pickford a double salary increase. We will be happy to prepare a ‘mega deal’ for Pickford.”
Pickford played for Everton from the 2017-18 season after experiencing various clubs in England. Pickford, who was his main goalkeeper, showed off his unique super save ability to no avail. He boasted excellent reflexes and accurate kicks, and was also active on the national team. Pickford became England’s main goalkeeper at the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.
Manchester United are trying to make a change in goal under manager Eric Ten Hag. David de Gea is ‘number one’, but he does not have the deep trust of manager Ten Haag. Coach Ten Hag prefers goalkeepers with excellent passing skills. De Gea has a strong point in saving, but has made several fatal mistakes due to his weak footing. 메이저사이트
Initially, Manchester United intended to part ways with Gea as his contract expires next summer. However, as De Gea agreed to a stock cut, the possibility of staying increased. Jack Butland, who joined on a six-month short-term loan this winter, will be looking for a starting goalkeeper to replace De Gea if he leaves next year, and Pickford is the first choice.
Pickford also has links with Tottenham. Tottenham is looking for a player to keep the goal after Hugo Lloris (36), who announced his retirement from the French national team, and has put Pickford on the recruitment list. England’s ‘Football Insider’ explained that “Tottenham manager Antonio Conte wants Pickford.”
However, both Manchester United and Tottenham need a persuasion process to recruit Pickford. ‘Sports Bible’ said, “Despite various transfer rumors, Pickford considers staying at Everton his top priority. He loves Everton and wants to settle there.
