Man Utd ‘beat four clubs’ including Chelsea as Erik ten Hag’s next signing edges closer

Manchester United are ahead in the race for signing Croatian young talent Dino Klapija.

Dino Klapija is also targetted by clubs like Chelsea, Barcelona, Juventus, AC Milan, and RB Leipzig.

Manchester United wants Dino

The young Croatian striker who plays for NK Kustosija has attracted a lot of attention towards him.

Clubs like Chelsea, Barcelona, Juventus, and AC Milan are interested in the striker but the ones leading the race are Manchester United and RB Leipzig.

Both clubs are ready to spend around £5 million to seal a deal with Kustosija.

Dino left the Dinamo Zagreb’s academy to play for NK Kustosija but has not made his professional debut yet.

The decision lies in the hands of Dino Klapija about which club he wants to join. Erik Ten Hag desires to implement at least one academy player into the senior team every season.

“This is their moment. So we have to improve the squad, you can do it with players who make transfers but also players who are across the whole academy,

Man United is famous [for] it. To bring young kids to above and to play in the first team. Last year, Garnacho made it.

So I always hope for a minimum of one player who can go into our squad and compete for a starting position.”

Ten Hag told MUTV

Who is Dino Klapija?

Dino Klapija is the new young sensation that every club wants. The U.S.A.-born player represented America in the U16s but started representing Croatia after his parents moved in.

The striker is a former Dinamo Zagreb academy player who left them to join NK Kustojisa. NK Kustosjisa are known as a talent factory in Croatia after having sold Mikayil Faye to Barcelona and many more.

Dino is in demand for many big clubs out of which RB Leipzig are the frontrunners to sign the player but there could be a bidding war.

Manchester United are interested in Dino but the decision now remains upon the young striker.
