For weeks now, the Spanish press has been following minute by minute rumors and speculation about the arrival of Kylian Mbappé to Real Madrid. The French striker decided not to activate the automatic extension clause of his contract with Paris Saint-Germain until 2025 nor to accept the four-year renewal offers, so from July 1 he will become a free agent and will be able to sign with any club in the world.

This week, Marca newspaper claimed that there is already a signed agreement between 'Kiki' and Los Merengues for him to join next summer. Although this has not been officially confirmed, the Spanish side are preparing to receive one of the best forwards in the world. But that may not be good news for Vinicius Junior. The Brazilian winger plays in a similar position to Mbappé and there may not be room for both of them in the starting lineup.

That's why there are rumors about the possible departure of 'Vini' from Real Madrid once this season ends. And that's where Manchester United come in. The Red Devils need to sign top level players to compete with the best teams in England and Europe, and one of the sectors of the field where they need reinforcements is precisely the attack. This could become even more urgent if PSG target Marcus Rashford, as speculated in France.

With this scenario, it will take a fortune to get Vinicius out of Real Madrid and bring him to Old Trafford. According to Fichajes.net, Manchester United are willing to make an impressive offer of €180 million (about £153 million) for the South American player to finish his contract early in Spain and become the new star of the Premier League. But that's not all, as they could also pay him a £25m salary.

The Red Devils need fowards

Attack has been a problem for Manchester United this season. The early departures of Jadon Sancho and Facundo Pellistri, coupled with the injury to Anthony Martial, have left Ten Hag with few alternatives. He has prioritized Alejandro Garnacho, Rasmus Hojlund and Marcus Rashford, leaving Antony on the bench. But with them it has not been enough to compete for the Premier League title, so the arrival of Vinicius could be key in the future.
