Man United step up interest in £30m-rated striker as Arsenal interest emerges

Manchester United are interested in signing the Shakhtar Donetsk striker Kaua Elias.

According to reports from Spain, Manchester United have been scouting the 20-year-old Brazilian striker, and their scouts have submitted positive reports. Elias’ representatives are already aware of the Premier League club’s interest, and the player would cost around £30 million.

They have been watching him closely, and it remains to be seen whether they submit an offer to sign him. The striker has a contract with the Ukrainian club until December 2029. Manchester United will have to pay the asking price if they want to complete the deal.

The striker scored 11 goals for the Ukrainian club last season, and he is on the radar of Premier League rivals Arsenal as well. The Gunners have been monitoring his progress, and it will be interesting to see if they are prepared to compete with Manchester United for his signature.

The Red Devils certainly have the financial muscle to get the deal across the line. Even though the £30 million valuation seems high right now, the player has the potential to justify the investment in the long term.

The opportunity to play for Manchester United or Arsenal will be exciting for the young attacker. The Brazilian will be tempted to join a big club, and it remains to be seen how the situation develops.

Joshua Zirkzee has been linked with a move away from Manchester United, and they need another player who can support Benjamin Sesko in the attack.

Similarly, Arsenal need more goals from their team. Elias could compete with Viktor Gyokeres if he joins the Premier League champions.
