MANCHESTER UNITED and Arsenal have received a boost as Benfica close in on signing a replacement for in-demand star Darwin Nunez.
The forward has scored 26 goals in 28 appearances this term to finish the season as the Primera Liga's top marksman.He found the net 32 times in 38 matches in total - leading to serious interest from clubs across Europe.
Premier League duo United and Arsenal are both keen on bringing the 22-year-old Uruguayan international to England.
Now The Athletic claims that Benfica are lining up a move for Stuttgart's Sasa Kalajdzic.
The Portuguese side are expecting to lose their main man this summer and ideally want a deal completed as soon as possible to allow them plenty of time to fill the void.
Now moves are being made to bring in the Austrian to take over from Nunez.
Kalajdzic is about to enter the final 12 months of his contract at the Bundesliga side.
Both Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund have enquired about him, but Benfica are hoping to beat them to the punch and sign him themselves.
Stuttgart still hope that Kalajdzic will sign a new agreement with them - but if not then they will sell for around £21.2 million.
But a number of other outfits are also monitoring his situation.
Both Brighton and Southampton are believed to be interested in him.
Meanwhile, Benfica will be looking to recoup around £60m for Nunez.

All this talk of transfers and not knowing what European competition we're in next season. So if things go badly and we're in the Conference League then targets like Nunez probably won't happen so these articles are an extreme annoyance until we know where we stand on Sunday afternoon

We no very well he is going to Manchester united, Arsenal have no funds to compete with United and won't be able to reach his demand. That's obvious situation
They seriously don’t know I mean I get you guys are gonna fix yours next season but I’m sure hes not interested in Europa league and since he’s 60mil Arsenal are definitely going for him thought he would be around 75

Arsenal will win it because they have CL football next season
lol hey nutjob obviously you only started watching football today. so let me school you. Arsenal have been in the ecl for 20 consecutive seasons. a decade is 10 years we have missed out on ecl only 5. same useless team beat yourll at Trafford. you unites fans brag even when a team is higher on points and have a chance to get top 4. this from the youngest team in the EPL and no so called superstars. spend big money and sell for peanuts.

I don’t knw why arsenal and their board are so blind to sign what will work for them, always going for nonsense players, u need strikers and u are going for defenders

Please let MAN U make the move ASAP and not wait for another club to sign him. City have Halaand, Liverpool have the Salah, Arsenal are plotting to get Jesus, this guy shud b our perfect answer to these other club's, add a few other guys in midfield and defence and we are good to go for the season
