This summer, Lazio will face stiff competition from Manchester United for the services of AZ Alkmaar forward Jesper Karlsson, according to Corriere dello Sport.
During the upcoming transfer window, the Red Devils are anticipated to spend money on a number of players, and manager Erik ten Hag is allegedly interested in another left winger.
United are one of the teams interested in Karlsson, according to Corriere dello Sport, and they might provide Lazio with "strong competition" for the Swedish player.
He was purchased by Alkmaar for just €2.6 million three years ago, and when the transfer window reopens, it is rumored that they may approve his sale for almost €20 million.
Jadon Sancho, Marcus Rashford, and Alejandro Garnacho all play on the left wing for Ten Hag, but the latter may switch positions in the upcoming campaign.
Sancho and Antony may face off for the right wing position because Facundo Pellistri and Amad Diallo may be loaned out while Anthony Elanga is anticipated to be sold.
In the event that United are unable to sign a star number nine like Harry Kane or Victor Osimhen, Rashford might become a regular under Ten Hag.
This might be the driving force behind Ten Hag's desire to sign another left winger. Karlsson would be a beneficial addition without being expensive.
With 13 goals and 8 assists across all competitions for AZ Alkmaar in the previous season, Karlsson made an impression. His 33 appearances were made from the left in 30 of them.
Karlsson has good control with an 80% pass accuracy. He enjoys pressing opponents. Ten Hag might have given him a glance when he was at Ajax. We won't be shocked if he suggested that he sign.
According to the transfer source Dean Jones, Manchester United and Liverpool will learn whether they may make a move for Bayern Munich midfielder Ryan Gravenberch this summer "very soon."
The Merseyside club have decided to bolster their squad over the off-season and have prioritized renovating the engine room after having a miserable season.
It has been reported that the Reds aim to sign two more new midfielders this summer in addition to the one they already have from Brighton & Hove Albion, Alexis MacAllister.
Recently, Anfield has been extensively connected to moves for Manu Kone and Khephren Thuram. But they also apparently have Gravenberch on their radar.
It has been asserted, nevertheless, that Bayern are unwilling to allow their star player depart during the forthcoming transfer window because they signed the Dutchman last summer. However, the 21-year-old has indicated his desire to leave the Allianz Arena and play regular first-team football abroad after finding it difficult to get regular game time in his debut season there.
It appears that Man Utd and Liverpool are attempting to take advantage of this circumstance by signing Gravenberch in order to strengthen their midfield units.
Jones claimed in an interview with GiveMeSport that Liverpool has shown serious interest in signing Gravenberch and that they may make a summer move for him. The Merseyside club will find out whether the player will be available for purchase'very soon,' according to the writer, but it is still unclear whether Bayern will permit their star player to leave.
“I’d say we should probably keep an eye on the Gravenberch situation because that’s the other one they’ve really wanted to know about. And I think there will be indications very soon on Gravenberch and whether Liverpool could even get involved in that conversation," added Jones.
Man United have reportedly also expressed interest in the midfielder, so they could formally express that interest if the right situation develops. It would therefore seem that Liverpool will have to contend with stiff opposition from the Red Devils in order to complete any prospective trade for the Dutch international.
