Man Utd look for a double blow to sign Kvaratskhelia and Buongiorno
manchester united They are reportedly considering signing Napoli duo Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Alessandro Buongiorno, according to the Italian outlet. TuttoMercatoWeb.
After a disappointing campaign last season, the Red Devils decided to strengthen the team with five new acquisitions in the summer. However, United have had a difficult start to this season, sitting 12th in the league with 11 points from eight games.
Furthermore, Ten Hag's team has not won any of its matches in the european league until now. As a result, the Dutch coach is under pressure, but the record first division The champions still keep faith in him.
Now, it appears the Man Utd hierarchy continue to plan for the future and look to strengthen two key positions next year. TMW claims that United have a strong interest in Kvaratskhelia and are also interested in Buongiorno and their scouts were present to see them in action against Empoli last weekend.
The former Torino player was solid in defense in this match, while the Georgian scored the winning goal from the penalty spot. Therefore, it is highly likely that the duo have made a good impression on United's scouts.

The report says that Napoli have no intention of letting Kvaratskhelia leave the club and have been in talks with him over a new contract. But they have been struggling to meet their demand of €8 million a year; In addition, he wants to include a termination clause of £83 million (€100 million) to sign an extension.
On the other hand, the Azzurri want to sell Buongiorno for around £58m, who moved to the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona at the start of this season. Therefore, Man Utd may have to spend around £141 million combined to sign the duo.
The Red Devils were keen to acquire a left-footed defender this summer and Jarrad Branthwaite was their top target. But they ultimately failed to reach a deal for him, so they are now apparently aiming to strengthen the left side of the defense in 2025.
United have found it difficult to score goals this season so strengthening their attack would be the right decision and Kvaratskhelia would be a huge coup if they buy him.
It will be interesting to see if the record Premier League champions finally take a concrete approach to signing Kvaratskhelia and Buongiorno next year.
