Man Utd gets green light for striker deal as Real Madrid faces hijack drama

The summer transfer window has reached its final month, and Man Utd is ready to accelerate. Reports say the club has been given the green light for a striker deal, with the next transfer reportedly moving "full speed ahead." United is also prepared to pay up to €70m to get that signing over the line. The update comes as Real Madrid is reportedly dealing with a hijack situation. Rodri has reportedly agreed a move to Barcelona, while Madrid is said to be facing a brutal fight for the Manchester City star. That adds another layer of uncertainty to the final month of the window. Elsewhere, Vinicius Junior has reportedly ended Arsenal speculation by agreeing a new contract with Real Madrid, according to Ornstein. Arsenal has been told to forget Vini Jr and sign a €100m forward instead. Arteta has also admitted to selling a player who was described as Arsenal's "glue." Man Utd, for its part, may still get the chance to strike a smart deal that would hammer the final nail into Newcastle's coffin. With so many moving pieces, the window is not slowing down.
