A recent report shows Manchester United can now offer the opportunity to sign a “strong” Juventus star in exchange for selling striker Rasmus Hozilund.
Amorim decided to keep the key man to United
United will all play the second tie in the Europa League semi-finals against Athletic Bilbao. From the end of United’s biggest match of the season, there was talk of Al-Hilal, a professional league club in Saudi Arabia, wanting to sign Talisman and Captain Bruno Fernandez.

Man UTD desperately needs a new striker no matter what happens in the Europa League this summer
Al Hilal is said to be ready to pay the UK record transfer fee and ready to kick him out of Old Trafford to pay Portugal International more than £1 million a week. However, Reuben Amorim has once again confirmed that Bruno wants to stay with the club as he is “one of the world’s top players,” so it may not be an easy task for the Saudi Arabian team.
Amorim said at a Bilbao press conference before the match: “Our ideas haven’t changed. We want to keep the best players. And Bruno is clearly one of the top players in the world. I want Bruno here.
“It’s easy to understand (his importance) – not just because of the numbers, but also because of the way he plays and the importance of the five years here.
“That’s normal. A lot of clubs want a player like Bruno. He’s really important because he’s the leader and he’s the captain. He’s the top player. He needs a top player.”
Man Utd can offer £135k-P/W star in exchange for Hojlund
Although Amorim has made it clear that he wants to stay with Fernandez, he may be open to the idea of letting other players go, allowing him to provide swaps for players that are particularly interested in Hozilund and the Red Devils. According to Tuttosport, Juventus is ready to offer Douglas Lewis to Mann United in exchange for Hoszilund.
The report says the Serie A Giants are leading the race this summer to sign Hozilund and are taking steps to move towards the deal. Dushan Vlahovic, who has been accepting Juventus to sell this summer, is said to be a potential part of Hozilund’s contract, but Lewis has described it as a “significant card” in negotiations for the United Striker.
Called “strong” by Aston Villa Sports director Monki, Lewis only joined Juve in the summer, but struggled to identify the usual starting spots featuring just 17 Serie a Games and primarily from the bench. Despite having been on a contract until 2029, Juventus may be aiming to use Lewis on Hodglund’s deal to lower United’s price.

Hozilund, who earns £85,000 a week at Old Trafford, has struggled in front of goals throughout United’s season and can bring in the right alternative as the Red Devils could be keeping him moving. However, it is unclear whether the Premier League side is interested in making a deal to sign a new midfielder at Lewis, who will earn an astounding £135,000 a week with Juventus, despite having little impact. If there is a player swap, United may want a striker instead of a new midfielder.
