Manchester United are pushing ever harder to complete the transfer of Wout Weghorst from Besiktas in the January transfer window. The efforts of the "Red Devils" can materialize very quickly, considering that the Dutch striker himself seems to be persistently seeking a transfer to Old Trafford.
Despite the fact that Weghorst is currently active in Turkey with Besiktas, his card is owned by Burnley in England. This has somewhat complicated the situation, since there is a valid loan contract for the Dutchman between the English and the Turkish club. The leaders of Besiktas demand a compensation from Burnley or United, in the case of the departure of the player.
However, according to Turkish journalist Gokhan Dinc, Weghorst is willing to pay the necessary compensation from his own money, just to play for Manchester United in England. Turkish sports media are questioning that the striker has reached an agreement with Besiktas over the move, and the Turks could make his departure official very soon.
According to Express Sport, Besiktas have presented Weghorst with two conditions to complete his transfer to United. The first was financial compensation. The second condition was to wait until the Turks provided a suitable replacement. Besiktas are believed to have their eyes on Vincent Aboubaka, who is very close to leaving Al-Nasser.
The approach of a striker is very important for United at this point of the season, especially after the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo at the end of the World Cup. The "Red Devils" have a busy agenda until the end of the season, as they have to play not only in the championship, but also in the Europa League. Also, coach Ten Hag's men have to play in the Carabao Cup and FA Cup. Player rotation is the only way for the English to be competitive in all competitions.
