AAlthough United recognizes that it operates in an inflated market and that young British players have a premium, it is feared that there is almost an additional tax on the players they want to sign.
Solskjaer said on Wednesday that United would not be held for ransom and wanted "the right players at the right price", but they should probably make Harry Maguire the most expensive defender in the world if they want to move him away. from Leicester City, which has become the subject of their center of interest.
Leicester charges £ 90 million for the central defender but United hopes to reach an agreement on the £ 75 million Liverpool paid to Southampton for Virgil van Dijk last year. Manchester City is also interested in Maguire, but thinks the market rate for the defender is around £ 60m and refuses to get caught up in a bidding war that sets the stage for United.
It is believed that United is giving priority to the Maguire deal and the Romelu Lukaku situation for now. Piero Ausilio, Inter Milan's sports director, is believed to have traveled to London on Thursday to meet United officials, as Italian giants attempt to negotiate a deal for the Belgian striker, who has bad to leave.
Lukaku and fellow striker Anthony Martial missed the open training session in front of 12,000 spectators at Waca Stadium in Perth on Thursday to do alternative work at the gym. Both had participated in the morning training session.
Inter is offering a two-year initial loan worth around £ 9 million with an obligation to buy £ 53.7 million at the end of this period, but United wants a direct deal. Inter's hopes of being able to respect United's £ 75 million value are likely to depend on Argentinian striker Mauro Icardi, who is attracting Juventus' interest.
