Manchester United have shown interest in two Serie A wingers, making an inquiry for Juventus’ Francisco Conceição and tracking AC Milan’s Rafael Leão, transfer journalist Nicolo Schira reports. Tuttosport says Juventus would demand at least €50 million for Conceição, while Conceição’s agent Jorge Mendes has contacted several Premier League clubs.
Schira also reports United view 27‑year‑old Leão as an alternative option to bolster their forward line. No formal offers for either player are reported in those accounts.
Borussia Mönchengladbach midfielder Gio Reyna is attracting interest from Ligue 1 side Strasbourg, The Athletic reports. Negotiations are said to be ongoing with Reyna’s representatives amid belief that the Bundesliga club are willing to let the 23‑year‑old move on. Reyna scored in the United States’ 4-1 World Cup win over Paraguay but started just four league matches last season as Gladbach prepare to rebuild after finishing 12th.
