Manchester United have locked horns with Chelsea for the signing of Celtic right-back Josip Juranovic. The Blues have been in the market for defensive reinforcements who can deputise Reece James, though Erik ten Hag looks set to stifle Thomas Tuchel's transfer mission.
football.london understand that Manchester City have shown interest in the England international with his contract at Stamford Bridge set to expire in 2025. But, it's believed that James will be offered a new deal of which he's expected to sign.
While it's unlikely that Juranovic is being targeted as a backup to the 22-year-old, the west Londoners have registered an interest. According to 90min, the Croatia international has attracted the attention of the two Premier League giants - as well as Atletico Madrid - and could be available for as little as £15million.
