Man Utd have been informed how much it will cost to prise Noah Sadiki away from Sunderland in the summer transfer window, according to reports.<\/p>\n
The Red Devils spent over \u00a3200m on new players last summer with Sir Jim Ratcliffe and INEOS concentrating on improving their attack, as Benjamin Sesko, Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo all signed.<\/p>\n
Their goalscoring has been much better this season but many fans were disappointed to see that Man Utd<\/a> overlooked their midfield, which was seen as potentially their weakest area.<\/p>\n But now Man Utd are set invest tens of millions into that part of their squad this summer with widespread reports indicating they will bring in at least two new midfielders.<\/p>\n Nottingham Forest\u2019s Elliot Anderson<\/a>, Crystal Palace\u2019s Adam Wharton, Newcastle\u2019s Sandro Tonali and Brighton\u2019s Carlos Baleba<\/a> are just some of the midfielders linked over the last year.<\/p>\n And now Sunderland star Sadiki is one of the latest names to be linked with the defensive midfielder one of the Black Cats\u2019 standout stars since returning to the Premier League this season.<\/p>\n Caught Offside claim that<\/a> Chelsea are eyeing Sadiki as a potential replacement for Enzo Fernandez and \u2018held fresh talks with his representatives last week\u2019.<\/p>\n Man Utd \u2018regard Sadiki as one of their priority targets\u2019 with scouts attending many of the DR Congo international\u2019s matches this season, while Tottenham, Arsenal and Everton are also credited with some interest.<\/p>\n Want more breaking transfer lines from original sources?

Figures in the region of \u20ac50\u201360 million could make them think twice. That would represent a huge rise in value for a player signed from Union Saint-Gilloise for \u20ac17 million.\u2019<\/p>\n
