Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s sudden availability on the free-agent market has sparked a flurry of interest both in the UK and abroad, with the 28-year-old striker now one of the most talked-about names of the summer.
After leaving Everton, the English striker has become a tempting prospect for sides in need of a proven Premier League forward, but the path to securing his signature is not without complications.
While his pedigree as a goal scorer is unquestionable, Calvert-Lewin’s injury record and reported £100,000-per-week wage demands have made some potential suitors cautious.
The attacker made 26 appearances for the Toffees in the Premier League last season.
Man United add Calvert-Lewin to their transfer targets
Manchester United are exploring the possibility of adding Calvert-Lewin to Ruben Amorim’s squad as a depth option in attack, sources close to the agent industry have informed CaughtOffside.
The new United boss is keen on having a strong rotational setup, viewing the former Everton man as a capable third or fourth-choice striker who could provide valuable cover across a long season.
Elsewhere in the Premier League, Newcastle United have opened talks but hit a standstill over the player’s salary expectations.
In contrast, West Ham United, under Graham Potter, have shown far greater determination, with indications they may be willing to take a calculated gamble to bring him in.
Sunderland are arguably the most aggressive domestic bidder. The club is ready to offer one of the most lucrative contracts in the country along with guaranteed first-team football, a major selling point for a player eager to re-establish himself as a regular starter.
