According to reports, Manchester United have become \u2018serious\u2019 on signing Fulham star Sander Berge, while Chelsea could snatch another target.<\/p>\n
At the start of this summer\u2019s transfer window, Man Utd<\/strong> have been prioritising a midfield overhaul and have been linked with loads of potential signings.<\/p>\n It has been widely reported that the Red Devils intend to sign as many as three midfielders this summer, and they have already landed Andrey Santos and Youri Tielemans after missing out on other targets.<\/p>\n Now, Man Utd plan to bring in a defensive midfield option to fill the void left by Casemiro, and Fabrizio Romano has named Manu Kone<\/strong> as a possible signing following his exploits for France at this summer\u2019s World Cup.<\/p>\n However, Man Utd were never likely to be alone in targeting Kone, and our colleagues at TEAMtalk<\/em> claims Chelsea have now \u2018accelerated plans\u2019 to sign the midfielder as part of a triple deal.<\/p>\n READ: The mistake Man Utd could make with Manu Kone as their missing midfield piece<\/strong><\/p>\n It is said that the Blues \u2018could torpedo\u2019 Man Utd\u2019s attempts to sign Kone after making a \u2018fresh enquiry\u2019 over signing the midfielder.<\/p>\n The report claims:<\/p>\n \u2018The Red Devils still want another defensive-minded midfielder after pulling back from a move for Atalanta\u2019s Ederson, with Kone remaining one of several players under serious consideration alongside Wolves\u2019 Joao Gomes, Fulham\u2019s Sander Berge and Lille sensation Ayyoub Bouaddi.<\/p>\n \u2018Chelsea\u2019s enquiry means the battle for Kone is set to intensify. While neither Premier League club has submitted a formal offer, both are carrying out detailed work on a player who has become one of the most attractive midfield opportunities on the market this summer.\u2019<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n As mentioned, Berge is another option for Man Utd, and TEAMtalk<\/em> have also reported that the Premier League giants are now making a \u2018serious\u2019 move for the \u00a340m-rated Fulham star this summer.<\/p>\n READ MORE: Romano makes Man Utd \u2018green light\u2019 claim over Camavinga as INEOS \u2018will sign\u2019 midfielder<\/strong><\/p>\n The report claims:<\/p>\n \u2018Contact has also been made for Manu Kone, and, as we exclusively revealed on July 9, the France international is very much on their radar. Berge, by contrast, is regarded internally as a far more attainable option, though.<\/p>\n \u2018Sources indicate Man Utd believe the Fulham midfielder could be signed for less than \u00a340million, making him one of the most attractive value-for-money options currently available.\u2019<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Man Utd are also targeting signings in other positions, with reports indicating that they could sign West Ham star Crysencio Summerville to replace Marcus Rashford on one condition.<\/strong><\/p>\n READ NEXT: \u00a330m Man Utd signing hinges on one condition as leading target made available for transfer<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/div>\n\n
