British media: Manchester United still wants Portuguese midfielder Jurmander, but will face Juventus competition

According to the British media "TEAMtalk", Manchester United still intends to introduce midfielder Jurmand from Portuguese sports. Amorin hopes to reunite with his former disciples at Old Trafford, but the Red Devils will face competition from Juventus.

After introducing Cunha and finalizing Mbemo, Manchester United is still looking for a striker in the transfer market, but coach Amorin also considers the midfield choice. Juventus has already negotiated in-depth on personal terms with Jurmand, but due to the huge differences between the two clubs on transfer fees, this leaves Manchester United with a chance.

Amorin hopes to introduce a player who can adapt to his midfield system, and Yuermand is considered the perfect choice. With Yorke likely to leave the team, Portugal Sports is unwilling to lose two important players in the same transfer window, the former being the target Arsenal is chasing.

Juventus is willing to pay Jurmand a transfer fee of 35 million euros, but that is far below the 50 million euros to 60 million euros in Portugal. Juventus hopes to reduce Jurmande's transfer fee by leveraging Portugal's interest in right-back Alberto Costa, but Portugal has refused to make concessions at the moment.

Juermand himself prefers to join Juventus, and he believes that playing football in Torino City is the ideal next step in his career. However, Manchester United had the opportunity to intervene and seriously try to sign the midfielder, and Amorin also made it clear that he was interested in this reunion. At the same time, Portugal Sports plans to provide Jurmande with a significant salary increase to convince him to stay in the team, so there are still considerable variables in the current situation.

In the 2024-25 season, Jurmande played 47 games for Portugal Sports events, scoring 3 goals and giving two assists.
