Man Utd's bitter rivals want £30m star despite Old Trafford 'dream'
Manchester United signed Patrick Dorgu from Lecce during the winter window and one of the Danish international's former team-mates has spoken about his love for the club Lecce star Nikola Krstovic spoke earlier this season about his dream of a move to Manchester United. Instead, though, it's another Premier League team who want the Montenegro international. Krstovic top-scored for Lecce last season as they narrowly clung on to their Serie A status. The Giallorossi were able to survive despite a high-profile exit midway through the season, with Patrick Dorgu joining United in a big-money move. It looks as though the striker won't be joining his old team-mate at Old Trafford, though. Instead, it's Leeds United readying a move for the £30m-rated star. According to Corriere dello Sport (via Sport Witness), Leeds have an agreement in principle to sign Krstovic - potentially for substantially less than Lecce's £30m asking price. However, they have yet to agree personal terms. Sport Witness has also resurfaced comments from the 25-year-old from back in September. Back then, he discussed his next steps while making reference to compatriot Mirko Vucinic, who had spells at Roma and Juventus after leaving Lecce. 'After the match against Torino he (Mirko Vucinic) told me 'think about the next one'. Where would I never play? In Bari. My dream is Manchester United,' Krstovic is quoted as saying. 'It's only the second year here in Lecce. I am very happy, both me and my family. We have friends and we're enjoying it, so let's think about the present.' If Leeds are able to land Krstovic, he would be the second new arrival from Serie A after Jaka Bijol. Slovenia defender Bijol has joined on a long-term deal from Udinese as Daniel Farke's side prepare for a Premier League return, with the Whites also adding Lukas Nmecha to their ranks this summer. 'I work for it and that's why I'm here, because it's a big challenge for everyone," Bijol told club media. "It's a big challenge for me, for the club, and we're getting ready for it together. I think the club and myself are ready for the Premier League. 'I can promise that I will give everything, that I will give everything in every training as well to be ready for the first game of the season and then just go from there.' The reigning Championship winners have also offloaded Rasmus Kristiansen and Joshua Guilavogui this summer. Guilavogui is a free agent after his short-term deal ended, while Kristiansen has made a permanent move to Eintracht Frankfurt after a successful loan.

Inter Milan Will Sign Two Strikers This Summer – Napoli & Juventus Linked Man United Flop + 2 Serie A Breakout Stars On Shortlist
Inter Milan Will Sign Two Strikers This Summer – Napoli & Juventus Linked Man United Flop + 2 Serie A Breakout Stars On Shortlist Inter Milan will sign two strikers this summer, with Rasmus Hojlund, Ange-Yoan Bonny, and Nikola Krstovic all on their shortlist. This according to today's print edition of Turin-based newspaper Tuttosport, via FCInterNews. Advertisement If there has been one area of Inter's squad that has not been up to task this season, it's been the attack. Lautaro Martinez and Marcus Thuram certainly remain the first-choice starting duo. However, both Martinez and Thuram have had their ups and downs. Both have dealt with periods of fitness and injury problems, and they have not always been available and in form simultaneously. Meanwhile, Inter signed Mehdi Taremi last season with the hope he would offer a real starting-quality alternative to Martinez and Thuram. However, that's not really been the case. Meanwhile, Marko Arnautovic and Joaquin Correa have shone in moments. But neither have given Inter any kind of consistency. Both are out of contract at the end of June. Inter Milan Will Sign Two Strikers – Hojlund, Bonny & Krstovic On Shortlist PARMA, ITALY – JANUARY 31: Ange-Yoan Bonny of Parma Calcio reacts during the Serie A match between Parma and Lecce at Stadio Ennio Tardini on January 31, 2025 in Parma, Italy. (Photo by) According to Tuttosport, Inter Milan will look to rectify their striker issues by making two signings. Advertisement The clear objective for the Nerazzurri is to bring in players who they believe can compete for a starting spot, rather than just make up the numbers in the squad. One player Tuttosport anticipate Inter will target is out-of-form Manchester United striker Rasmus Hojlund. Hojlund has never come close to living up to his price tag since joining United from Atalanta in 2023. Nevertheless, teams in Serie A continue to hold the Dane in high regard. Inter, Napoli, and Juventus are all keen to try and sign Hojlund. Particularly if they can secure a loan deal for the 22-year-old containing a purchase option. Advertisement Inter would see Hojlund as a player who can become a starting-quality striker who would take some of the burden off of Lautaro Martinez and Marcus Thuram. Meanwhile, Tuttosport report, there are a couple strikers in Serie A the Nerazzurri are keen on. Firstly, Parma striker Ange-Yoan Bonny has risen up Inter's shortlist after an impressive first season in Serie A. The Gialloblu value Bonny at around €20 million.

And he has impressed more and more with his performances in Serie A. Advertisement Krstovic has hit double figures in the Italian top flight this campaign. And beyond his goals, the 25-year-old has provided very effective holdup play. Tuttosport report that Lecce have slapped an asking price of €25 million on Krstovic. An offer worth €20 million plus add-ons could get the job done, though. Then, if Lecce were to go down to Serie B, the situation could be a lot different.

Meanwhile, he is reportedly asking for agent commissions as high as €10 million.
