Manchester United are close to completing the transfer of Franculino

Rodrygo's situation is getting more intense as several clubs are showing interest in the 24-year-old Real Madrid winger. Arsenal aren't the only team keeping an eye on him, with Tottenham also looking to add him to their squad. The Spurs have had Rodrygo on their radar since last summer and are aiming to bolster their attacking options in the January transfer window. However, it's still unclear whether Rodrygo sees Tottenham as his top choice, considering the number of clubs chasing him.

Liverpool are also interested and have been searching for a wide forward all summer.

Rodrygo has been on their list, but for now, they are focused on signing Antoine Semenyo. The Reds might consider signing Rodrygo if the situation with Semenyo doesn't work out, especially if they face difficulties in their pursuit of the Bournemouth player.

United needs a new striker in January.

The Red Devils are looking for more attacking strength in the final third, even though they already spent a lot of money to strengthen their attack during the summer.

With Benjamin Sesko injured and Joshua Zirkzee expected to leave the club in the next transfer window, Amorim wants a top player to replace him before allowing the Dutch international to go.

They see Franculino as the ideal fit for their system and have already begun working on a possible transfer.

Manchester-based scouts have been monitoring him closely in recent weeks. After watching him play several times, the Red Devils have decided to pursue him seriously.

Amorim's team is thought to be very close to finalizing a deal, and if everything works out, they might complete the signing in the winter transfer window.
