The ball - the English club that has 20 million to give to Baliniha (Sporting).

Balinha has become a priority target for Manchester United coach Ralph Rangnick for 2022/2023. That guarantee is provided by the British daily Mirror, which positions the 26-year-old midfielder as the key to more defensive consistency for the Red Devils next season.

The midfielder, according to this post, has been noticed on several occasions, as Cody Jako, 22, was the talented winger in Eindhoven (Netherlands), who would also be the main target but to strengthen the attack.

Moreover, this is not a new destination for Palhinha, who has also recently been associated with Wolverhampton. Thus, Manchester United increases the number of Premier League clubs that have a midfielder under their eyes.

The British daily also mentioned Balinha’s release clause – €60m – with the Manchester badge poised to make an offer of around €20m. However, the value knows the ball, which is considered low, because the Lions are not willing to give up one of the team’s most important pieces to Robin Amorim’s orders for less than €30m.

Among the doubts, one thing is certain: with a few months left until the market reopens, Palhinha will surely be one of the names in focus in the many European logos closely following its development in Alvalade.
