Manchester United are making moves to bring David Alaba to Old Trafford this summer. The Red Devils have reportedly initiated contact with Real Madrid regarding the veteran defender’s potential transfer, as detailed by Tuttomercato. Alaba is expected to part ways with the Spanish giants on a free transfer at the end of the current season.
United are actively scouting for a central defender, and the 33-year-old Austrian has emerged as a key target for the Premier League club. Over the past three seasons, Alaba has featured in only 47 matches for Madrid, making his availability appealing to the English side.
In a separate transfer story, Arsenal have set their sights on Bournemouth winger Eli Junior Kroupi. According to the BBC, Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta is a fan of Kroupi, who netted 13 goals in his inaugural Premier League campaign. Bournemouth are thought to value the young talent at over £80 million. The Gunners could formalize their interest if either Leandro Trossard or Gabriel Martinelli departs the club this summer.
