Manchester United s pursuit of Zhekelais has "basically failed"

According to Sky Sports Germany Station, Manchester United's attempt to sign Portuguese sports forward Zhekelais has been substantially terminated, and the players have not yet regarded the transfer to Old Trafford as their target. Meanwhile, the Red Devils have turned to signing Brazilian international Mattus Cunia from Wolves.

Florian Pretenberg, chief reporter of Sky Sports in Germany, confirmed on social media: "Exclusively learned: the possibility of Zhekelais transferring to Manchester United has basically disappeared! The player has not viewed this as his target at present. On the contrary, Manchester United is starting to complete the signing of Mattus Cunia."

Cunia is about to join Manchester United

Details of the transaction: Cunia will join Manchester United this summer, and the club reached an agreement with Wolves on the transfer of the Brazil international yesterday.

Tactical Positioning: 25-year-old Cunya has been identified as the main target of strengthening the offensive line and is expected to play the No. 10 role in Amorin's system.

Front Crisis: As the current forward combination Hoylund and Zilker continue to be in a sluggish state, Manchester United still needs to give priority to introducing regular Indian centers.

Zhekelais' historical origins and obstacles for missing Manchester United

Zhekelais and Amorin's cooperation in Portugal Sports has achieved amazing success (making 55 goals in a single season). This reunion of masters and apprentices should have inspired the Manchester United coaching staff. But the fact that the club missed the European game next season eventually became a fatal obstacle to this potential transfer.

Competitive situation: According to multiple sources, 26-year-old Zhekelais has become a key signing target for Manchester United's Premier League rival Arsenal. The Champions League qualification that the Gunners can provide significantly improve the attractiveness of the deal.

Linework Construction Analysis

Although Zhekelais and Cunha could have formed a complementary combination in Amorin's frontcourt and greatly improved Manchester United's existing attacking line level, Pretenberg revealed that the operation of the latter only turned to the latter after the failure to pursue the former exposed the financial reality that the Red Devils can only afford a heavy offensive signing this summer.

Comparison of financial data

Zhekelais estimated cost: 55 million pounds of transfer fees + high weekly salary + broker commission.

Cunya transaction amount: 62.5 million pounds (direct contact with the Wolfs termination fee clause).

Budget Framework Disclosure

The Peoples Person Reprinted, which shows that Manchester United's initial budget this summer is less than £100 million (more funds need to be raised through player sales). This means that the feasibility of signing Zhekelais and Cunia at the beginning of the summer window is zero - unless multiple player cleaning transactions are completed, which usually requires a complex negotiation process.

Manchester United forward reinforcement filing

Club is now adopting the "main attack target + secondary option " strategy, such as:

primary goal: Cunya (62.5 million pounds termination fee).

Option: Ipswich striker Drapp (30 million pounds relegation clause).

Tactical chain reaction

Missage Dzekelish forces Amorin to redesign the offensive system, and Cunya needs to assume more frontcourt sermon responsibilities. The success or failure of this signing will directly affect whether Manchester United can break through the "transitional season" position in the new season.
