Inter Milan is holding out for a £51 million fee for Onana, but United is unwilling to go above £43 million as they search for a replacement for David de Gea.

Henderson has been linked with a £20 million move to Nottingham Forest after a successful loan spell at the club last season. However, it seems that manager Erik ten Hag is not yet ready to part ways with Henderson.

Agent Hints at Manchester United Striker Signing

Mehdi Taremi’s agent, Borna Khoramdel, has sparked speculation about the player’s potential transfer to Manchester United by posting a picture of the club’s badge on Instagram.

According to The Sun, the agent’s post caused a frenzy among fans and fueled speculation about Taremi’s potential move to United.

Borna Khoramdel, the CEO of Arvand Sport, which represents Porto star Mehdi Taremi, posted an image of United’s badge on social media, indicating the player’s possible interest in joining Erik ten Hag’s side.

Taremi is seen as an alternative attacking option to Harry Kane, who is deemed too expensive for the club. Manchester United has reportedly expressed interest in signing Taremi earlier this month.

Jordan Henderson Contemplates Liverpool Departure

Liverpool midfielder Jordan Henderson has been offered a staggering wage of £700,000 per week to join Al-Ettifaq, now managed by Steven Gerrard.

According to The Mirror, Henderson is set to hold talks with Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp in the next 24 hours to discuss the mammoth salary offer.

Henderson has spent more than a decade at Anfield and has been the team’s captain for the past eight years. He has achieved tremendous success during his time at the club, including winning the Premier League, FA Cup, Carabao Cup, and Champions League titles.

However, the Saudi Pro League’s Al-Ettifaq has identified Henderson as their next flagship signing as they look to establish themselves as a destination for top-tier players. Despite not winning the league title in 36 years, the team is making significant efforts to attract high-profile talents.

Fulham Firm on Keeping Mitrovic

Fulham has rejected a £25 million bid from Saudi Arabian side Al-Hilal for striker Aleksandar Mitrovic.

The Telegraph reports that Mitrovic is considered one of Fulham’s key players, and the club is determined to keep him.

According to The Telegraph, Al-Hilal offered around £25 million for Mitrovic, but Fulham is adamant that the striker is not for sale.

Mitrovic had an impressive season in the Premier League, emerging as Fulham’s top scorer with 15 goals in 28 appearances across all competitions last year. As a result, he has grabbed the attention of the Saudi Pro League, but Fulham is determined to hold onto their star player.
