Sports events have always created a buzz globally be it the recent Olympic games, or the Euro Cup, or even instances like Ronaldo’s removal of the coke from his table leading the market shares of coca-cola to fall by $4 billion. Recently, there’s a new spark going on between Chelsea and Manchester United for they both want midfielder Saul Niguez in their teams.
Here’s What You Need To Know About The Ongoing Debate
Saul Niguez, a Spanish footballer, usually plays as a defensive or central midfielder for Atletico Madrid and the Spanish National Team. Since the rumours of Saul Niguez leaving Atletico Madrid are ongoing, plenty of teams across Europe are taking a keen interest in him. Amongst all of these, the two teams which are extremely eager to include Saul Niguez in their team and are trying very hard to accomplish the same, are Chelsea and Manchester United.
This demand for Saul Niguez indicates that he is one of the best midfielders in the world right now.
The Chelsea team are trying to “sign in” Saul Niguez, and therefore put forth an attempt to settle the unsure chaos going on over Andreas Christensen, and Antonio Rüdiguer as they would need new deals. Moreover, the Chelsea team are also incurring some heavy expenses, to pay the prices charged by West Ham, for their move concerning Declan Rice. Among this present scenario in Chelsea, the present speculations are that the coach of the Chelsea Team, Thomas Tuchel, perhaps wants more competition against N’Golo Kante, Mateo Kovacic, Jorginho and so on. This situation and Tuchel’s want of a more competitive midfielder, has especially escalated since they have loaned Billy Gilmour to Norwich.
On the other hand, there are even more rumours of Manchester United having signed a contract with the agent of Saul Niguez, for his transfer into the team.
Manchester United are relatively in a better position since the arrival of Jadon Sancho and Raphael Varane. This last summer has been quite a successful time for Manchester United and they have had a positive transfer window so far. However, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, the manager of Manchester United, is looking for alternative options concerning central midfielders, since they have been unable to target Declan Rice for the huge fees of £100million charged by West Ham. In the light of these circumstances, it is clear that Manchester United perceived Saul Niguez as a golden opportunity for their team and will perhaps leave no strategy unturned to secure the deal with him.
According to some more speculations, Saul Niguez might be taken into the team of Manchester United for a price of around £34-38 million, which is fairly low when compared to the humongous prices needed to be paid for Declan Rice.
Among these unspoken battles between teams like Chelsea and Manchester United, for a top-notch midfielder like Saul Niguez, it is to be noted by the keen football fans and the citizens worldwide, that all these sparks are still in form of rumours and speculation. Hence, one has to wait to know who ultimately secures Saul Niguez in their team before his transfer window ends by the end of August.
