According to the latest report from well-known transfer journalist Romano, Norwegian midfielder Sander Berg is currently undergoing the medical examination procedure at Fulham and is expected to officially sign a long-term contract to join the Premier League club soon. It is reported that Berg's transfer fee has been set at 25 million euros, and the contract will cover the period until 2028 and include an option to extend the contract until 2029, showing Fulham's importance and expectation of the midfield star.
However, Berger's transfer has not been a smooth one. Originally, he was also seen as one of the options for United's midfield reinforcements, but as the transfer process has progressed, it is clear that United's attention has shifted to other targets. It has been revealed that United are now pushing ahead with a deal for Uruguayan midfielder Ugarte, seeing him as a top priority to bolster their midfield lineup. In contrast, Berger has taken a back seat as an alternative in United's reinforcement list.
On the other hand, Fulham quickly turned their attention to Berger after dropping talks with Manchester United midfielder McTominay. This decision not only adds new vigor and depth to Fulham's midfield, but also further solidifies their competitiveness in the Premier League. With the addition of Berger, Fulham fans are undoubtedly looking forward to the future of the team.
For Manchester United, although they failed to bring in Berger, they did not slow down the pace of attracting reinforcements. On the contrary, they have strengthened their determination to bring in Ugarte, hoping that the Uruguayan midfielder will further enhance the overall strength of the team. In the highly competitive Premier League, Manchester United knows that every minute and every second is crucial, and they must go all out to seize every opportunity to enhance their competitiveness.
