Manchester United to Make £30m Bid for Marcos Llorente Amid Transfer Chaos
Michael Carrick's appointment as interim head coach has brought some much-needed calm to Old Trafford, but the club is still desperately in need of a new central midfielder. The 30-year-old Spanish veteran, Marcos Llorente, is now on Manchester United's radar, with the Red Devils reportedly willing to part with £30m for his signature.
The transfer merry-go-round continues at Old Trafford as managerless Al-Hilal star Rúben Neves remains a potential target, while Atlético Madrid's Llorente seems increasingly likely to be the club's next major signing. Manchester United's interest in Sassuolo defender Tarik Muharemovic is not being matched by their willingness to splash out on his services, however, with Tottenham and Newcastle reportedly interested.
In contrast, Llorente is said to be valued at a relatively modest £30m, making him a tempting option for the Old Trafford outfit. With Jason Wilcox and co. abuzz about the prospect of landing him, it's hard not to wonder if United have finally found their man in midfield.
As for other transfer targets, Roma are looking to offload Dutch striker Donyell Malen, who has struggled to make an impact since joining Aston Villa from Borussia Dortmund 12 months ago. The £28.5m price tag the Italian club are willing to offer looks like a bargain considering Malen's limitations.
Meanwhile, Bernardo Silva is preparing for his emotional return to Benfica when his Manchester City contract expires in the summer. If Como were to make an approach, however, he might just consider listening to their terms – after all, living and playing football in that beautiful Italian city sounds like a pretty attractive prospect.
Brentford are seeking another winger to complement their existing squad, with Lazio's Matteo Cancellieri at the top of their wish list. The 23-year-old has already made a name for himself as a regular starter for the I Biancocelesti after loan spells with Empoli and Parma.
Young Manchester United star Jack Moorhouse is attracting interest from League One Bolton and Championship Sheffield Wednesday, who are keen to sign him on loan – potentially even permanently. If Moorhouse does decide to cut his spell in east London short, he'll be joining up with crosstown rivals Manchester City at Hillsborough.
In a surprising turn of events, former Manchester United loanee Harry Amass has left Middlesbrough for Stoke and Watford – the latter club may just have to do without him, however. The 22-year-old midfielder is now looking for his next challenge in the second tier.
Meanwhile, West Brom's new manager Eric Ramsey is hoping to bring some American flair into his squad with a deal for San Jose Earthquakes forward Timo Werner. The German international looks set to leave RB Leipzig and join the MLS side – a move that could be beneficial for everyone involved.

Marcos Llorente would be literally perfect for man utd in midfield 
£30m seems like a total steal considering his skills & experience 
Jason wilcox should totes get the job done 
and btw brentford need that Matteo Cancellieri ASAP 
£30m is kinda steep though, might just take some convincing lol 
. But, £30m for him? That's a bit steep if you ask me 
. I remember when Ryan Giggs used to play for United and how he'd always link up with Paul Scholes in midfield 
️. Llorente might not be the same level of player, but you never know what he could bring to the table 
Maybe they just don't want him anymore or maybe he's not suited for Aston Villa's playing style 
.
. And Brentford looking for another winger? That sounds like a great addition to their squad 
. And another thing, why do they have to go and waste £28.5m on Donyell Malen? He's been rubbish since he left Dortmund! Give me a break 
they're already struggling to spend big enough. it's like they're just throwing money at the problem instead of finding someone who can actually play the position they need in midfield 
Manchester United needs to sort out their midfield ASAP! It's like they're not even trying anymore 
. But hey, maybe signing Llorente is the answer? He seems like a solid player and at £30m it's not too steep of a price. Fingers crossed he brings some stability to that team 
So yeah, £30m seems reasonable for him. But what about the other midfielders they're looking at? Are they gonna be good enough to fill the gap? 
I mean, he's got some decent stats but I'm not convinced he'll make a difference at Old Trafford. Plus, what's with all the drama? First it's this and then Tottenham and Newcastle are sniffing around... can't they just agree on something already? 
The fact that Roma want to offload Malen is laughable - he's been struggling since joining Villa!
