Manchester United and Barcelona have a new striker target in Porto striker Samu Aghehowa.
Aghehowa on the Radar as Manchester United and Barcelona Seek New Strikers
Barcelona and Man Utd are both considering bringing in Samu Aghehowa this June transfer window. The Catalans see him as a long-term replacement for veteran forward Robert Lewandowski.
The 21-year-old Spanish striker has been lighting up the Portuguese league this term. He has managed to score 24 goals and give three assists this season so far. He is earning high praise from former players as well.
Young stars like Lamine Yamal is already making waves at Camp Nou. So, bringing in a new young talent could be another big step towards building a great attack. Nonetheless, the striker’s €100 million release clause could prove to be an issue. Given the player’s lack of experience in the top five leagues in Europe.
His recent success has been almost exclusively in Portugal. So, it gives hope. But, no one knows if he can produce the same level of success elsewhere. As there is tougher competition in La Liga and the Premier League.
Man Utd Eye Upgrade as Striker Hunt Heats Up
Manchester United are now in the mix, having tracked Aghehowa for some time. Rasmus Hojlund has been struggling at Old Trafford. And Antony and Marcus Rashford are most likely to make an exit. That leaves the Red Devils in dire need of attacking options.
The Porto’s attacker may not yet be a household name, but he ticks a lot of boxes. He’s young, powerful, and goal-hungry. While some fans may hope for a more proven name at their club. However, missing out on a rising star like him could be a costly mistake.
United are planning a squad rebuild under new leadership, and investing in potential might be the smarter play. Especially, with top talent being brought up fast by elite European clubs.
The race for Aghehowa is heating up. Whoever gets him might just be landing the next big thing in European football.
