Manchester United is among several teams in England approaching the end of the January transfer window.
After a recent 3-2 victory over Fulham, the Red Devils hold the fourth position in the Premier League, which would secure them a spot in next season’s UEFA Champions League if they maintain it.
With three consecutive wins, the team may aim for an even higher finish.
To enhance their chances, Manchester United could make moves in the remaining days of the transfer window.
Initially, Ruben Neves was rumored to be joining Manchester United, but it now appears he will remain with Al-Hilal in the Saudi Pro League.
Another player, Carlos Baleba, has surfaced again this month, though a summer transfer seems more probable given the limited contact from the club.
Additionally, reports indicate that the club has begun discussions with representatives of AZ Alkmaar midfielder Kees Smit.
Smit has been attracting Manchester United’s interest, with earlier reports suggesting the Netherlands international was on their radar.
Recent updates indicate that a bid of £53 million would be required for Smit’s transfer, an increase from the initial valuation of £25 million.
So far this season, the 20-year-old has made 31 appearances, scoring three goals and providing five assists across all competitions.
With just over a day left in the transfer window, clubs like Manchester United and Liverpool need to act quickly to finalize a deal for Kees Smit.
