The news of Carlo Ancelotti’s summer transfer plans has dealt a serious blow to Erik ten Hag.
As he gears up for a hectic European schedule the next season, Ten Hag is eager to make improvements to his team this summer.
Despite being out of the top four after United’s 1-0 loss to Brighton on Thursday, the Red Devils are still strong favorites to make the Champions League.
The club’s transfer plans, however, may run afoul of Real Madrid, as Carlo Ancelotti is rumored to be preparing moves for two Manchester United targets as well as one of their present players.
According to Fabrizio Romano, the negotiations for Jude Bellingham’s signing appear to have already been won by the Spanish powerhouses.
But that’s not all; according to the German news outlet BILD, Ancelotti is considering a move for Jeremie Frimpong, a player who has long been wanted by Manchester United.
Man Utd dealt triple transfer blow
This summer, Ten Hag is rumored to be looking for a right-back, and Frimpong has emerged as a prospective option.
In all competitions this season, the Bayer Leverusen wing-back has achieved an astounding nine goals and 10 assists.
The 22-year-old has allegedly had “positive talks” with the Old Trafford team about a prospective transfer to the Premier League.
Although, according to BILD, Real Madrid might potentially enter the picture as Ancelotti looks for a long-term successor for 31-year-old Dani Carvajal.
The article also discusses Madrid’s interest in right-back Diogo Dalot, who is now playing for United and had been rumored to be leaving in the summer.
Aaron Wan Bissaka has kept the Portugal international off the team for the majority of the season due to the Englishman’s outstanding play. But the Bernabeu might hold the key to his future.
