MU closed Harry Kane, Barca chose Salah instead of Haaland, Messi has a hard time returning to the Nou Camp are the latest transfer news today, March 16.

MU decided to buy Harry Kane this summer

Will Harry Kane become the next ‘British’ Red Devil after Jadon Sancho

According to the Mirror, MU identified Harry Kane as the number 1 target in summer transfer.

The source above provides more, the Red Devils plan to buy Harry Kane when they want to replace Ronaldo and Cavani. While CR7 is unlikely to stay and is over 37 years old, Cavani will leave Old Trafford at the end of the season due to the end of his contract.

However, to be able to convince Harry Kane to play football at Old Trafford, MU must first find a ticket to the Champions League next season. This is also the goal that Conte and Tottenham aim for, although the opportunity is much less than the Red Devils.

In addition, if MU chooses Pochettino as a long-term head coach, it will increase the chance of getting Harry Kane. Of course, the Red Devils must prepare a large budget, expected to be more than 100 million pounds for Tottenham to ‘release’ people.

Last summer, Man City really wanted to sign Harry Kane but failed because Chairman Daniel Levy made it difficult (screaming high prices) and refused to negotiate.

Barca chose Salah instead of Haaland

Barca targets Salah if he misses Haaland

AS said, leadership Barca identified Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah as an alternative target, should his pursuit of signing Erling Haaland from Dortmund fail.

Despite financial difficulties, Barca determined to ‘explode’ at least 1 big contract this summer.

Haaland is a priority, but there is a lot of information that the Norwegian striker is leaning towards Man City and in case this goal is missed, Barca will turn to Salah, who is still refusing to renew Liverpool.

Salah has a contract with Liverpool until the summer of 2023. Liverpool and Klopp want the Egyptian striker to stay but will not do anything to achieve it, which will not meet the salary of £ 400,000 / week as this striker is asking.

Barca is said to be ready to spend £ 55 million on Salah, who turns 30 next June.

Messi hardly has a ‘way back’ to Barca

Messi and his close junior teammate from Barca, were booed by the PSG audience in the Ligue 1 match last week

Luis Rojo of Marca said, President Joan Laporta wants to improve relations with Leo Messi after “pushing” the Argentine superstar from Barca.

However, both sides understand that a reunion at the Nou Camp is not feasible.

Not to mention, Messi himself is said to want to go out of his contract with PSG (until the summer of 2023), instead of leaving in defeat.

Reporter Loic Tanzi added, Messi still has the motivation to prove his ability at PSG, after being whistled and booed by Paris fans in the match against Bordeaux 3-0 in Ligue 1.

Messi has only 2 goals for PSG after 17 appearances in Ligue 1. In the C1 Cup, he scored 5 goals in the group stage, but lacked in the round of 16 against Real Madrid, with PSG being eliminated early.
