After the transfer of Aubameyang to Arsenal, clubs in England are plotting a raid on Dortmund’s young guns this upcoming summer. Weigl and Pulisic are being scouted with clubs in discussion to begin talks as the transfer window nears.

Manchester United, Chelsea and Liverpool are the three clubs who are looking to make a bid for Dortmund’s young duo. The players who are linked with a move are USA’s Christian Pulisic and German midfielder, Julian Weigl. There were attempts made during the recently concluded transfer window. But Dortmund was in no mood of making any sales and turned a blind eye to the offers.

The Premier League giants are back and are willing to pay the big bucks to lure the duo out of Germany this summer.

Manchester United and Liverpool have been closely monitoring the American’s progress with the Black and Yellows. But it looks like we have another club who are ready to jump in for the player.

The Daily Mail reveals that Chelsea has begun scouting Christian Pulisic and are looking to seal a move for him before the start of this year’s World Cup. Dortmund is unwilling to let go of the 19-year old winger. But the temptation of getting Batshuayi could force the Black and Yellows sell their best youth player of recent times.

Antonio Conte is not a fan of the Belgian striker since his arrival from Marseille. But rumours in London suggest that the Italian’s job is at risk this summer. In case he stays at Bridge, it will be interesting to see if he decides to keep hold of Batshuayi.

Manchester City keen on bringing in Julian Weigl

According to multiple sources, Manchester City has identified Julian Weigl as a possible signing in recent weeks. Scouts have been sent to have a look at the player and will surely feature on the shortlist once the window opens.

With 175 appearances under his belt at the age of 22, Julian Weigl is one of the most sought-after midfielders this summer. The German International is set to make the trip to Russia for this summer’s extravaganza.

Manchester City will have to act quickly and complete the move before the World Cup begins so that they don’t have any worries later.
