According to recent reports emanating from Bosnia, both Manchester United and Chelsea have reportedly made contact regarding a potential transfer for the highly-rated Kerim Alajbegovic. The 18-year-old midfielder, currently part of Red Bull Salzburg’s setup, is attracting significant interest from top European clubs.

Alajbegovic commenced his youth career at FC Koln, where he spent eight developmental years. Following his time there, he moved to Bayer Leverkusen in 2021 before making a permanent switch to Red Bull Salzburg last summer. Despite not yet featuring for Salzburg’s first team, his journey through prominent German youth academies and his current placement at the renowned talent-producing Austrian club underscore his considerable potential. Whispers suggest a deal could be agreed for around £26 million as both Premier League giants vie to secure the services of this burgeoning talent.
