La Gazzetta: Manchester United beats Liverpool close to hijacking Al Saifi goal
Manchester United outperformed its Premier League rivals Liverpool in their struggle to include one of the special deals in Italy during the upcoming summer Mercato.
Liverpool and Manchester United are in fierce competition to include Fiorentina defender Nikola Milinkovic in order to strengthen the back line before the new season.
According to the Italian newspaper "La Gazzetta dello Sport", Manchester United has become the favorite to join the player in his conflict with Liverpool.
Milinkovic refused an offer by his club Fiorentina to extend his contract with the team, which expires in June 2022, and wants to leave the Italian league and embark on a new adventure in his football career.
Milinkovic wanted to move to the English Premier League, and therefore, Fiorentina set the player's sale price for £ 30m to agree to his departure in the summer.
