Manchester United are reportedly setting their sights on Bayer Leverkusen striker Patrik Schick, with sources suggesting a potential €30 million move could be on the table this summer.
The Czech international has long been admired for his clinical finishing and physical presence up front, attributes that United manager Erik ten Hag is believed to be keen on adding to his squad. With doubts lingering over the long-term future of Anthony Martial and the need for depth behind Rasmus Højlund, Schick has emerged as a realistic and experienced option.
The 29-year-old has endured an injury-hit campaign but has still managed to contribute vital goals for Leverkusen, who recently clinched the Bundesliga title under Xabi Alonso. Despite his limited appearances this season, Schick’s track record—24 goals in the 2021/22 Bundesliga season—makes him a valuable target for clubs seeking proven attacking talent.
Reports in Germany suggest Leverkusen may be open to selling Schick for around €30 million, particularly if they look to reinvest in younger talent ahead of their Champions League campaign next season.
United, meanwhile, are expected to be active in the transfer market as INEOS looks to make a strong impression in their first summer overseeing football operations. Schick’s experience, international pedigree, and potentially modest fee compared to other forwards on the market make him an intriguing target.
As the transfer window approaches, this rumor is one to keep a close eye on.
