Manchester United remain eager to sign Fiorentina’s Italian international striker Moise Keene.
He had a great season in Italian outfits, scoring 25 goals in all competitions last season. Keene could prove to be a great addition to Manchester United if Manchester United can get the deal done.
Man United was able to trigger a release clause
According to Corriere Dello Sport via SportWitness, Manchester United was able to decide to complete the transaction by triggering his release clause at the “final time.” The player has a release clause of 52 million euros on the contract, but must be triggered by the end of today.
Keene had previously played for the UK but was unable to score top form at the time. He is at the peak of his career now, and Keene will feel that he is a fitting time for him to take on a new challenge. He will try to prove his worth in the Premier League if the move passes. The striker has played for Everton in the past, and the move to Manchester United will be a major upgrade.
Man United needs a reliable striker like Moise Kean
Manchester United struggled to score last season and needed a reliable striker. Italians add goals, physicality and pay in advance. It will be interesting to see if he can adapt to the Premier League and make an immediate impact.
Joshua Zilkie and Rasmus Hozilund are overwhelming, and Italians could prove to be a solid alternative.
Manchester United will need to organize their offensive units if they want to raise the table next season. Signing trustworthy strikers should be a priority for them. It remains to be seen whether they will be able to sign an international contract in Italy.
