Manchester United Transfer News: Despite interest from Chelsea, Brentford goalkeeper David Raya is willing to consider a transfer to Manchester United
Manchester United Transfer News: Dean Jones of GiveMeSport claims that Manchester United are keen on signing David Raya. The goalkeeper for Brentford, who is 27 years old, has been phenomenal as of late. Several major teams are interested in signing him.
Raya was a Blackburn Rovers academy product who was signed by Brentford in the summer of 2019. Since he’s been with the Bees, he’s flourished. The Spanish goalkeeper has played in 150 games for the English club, including 51 shutouts.
This season, the 27-year-old goalie has kept nine clean sheets in 27 Premier League games. He has been crucial to Brentford’s rise to eighth place in the league, where they currently sit with 42 points. The Bees have a legitimate shot at a top-six finish.

Manchester United Transfer News: What’s the matter?
While many teams are interested in signing him, Chelsea is one of them. Despite having Kepa Arrizabalaga and Edouard Mendy, two excellent goalkeepers, they are still on the lookout for a third. The Blues have been frustrated by the inconsistent play of their goalkeepers. They’re also hoping to get Raya to join the group.
To make room for the 27-year-old, Chelsea will first try to trade one of their two starting goalkeepers. Mendy’s name has been bandied around in connection with a transfer to Bayern Munich. He may be the player to make way. The signing of Raya by Chelsea will be difficult because Manchester United is also interested in him.
David de Gea and the Red Devils are in contract renewal talks. De Gea is yet to sign a new contract that reduces his weekly salary of £375,000. It is anticipated that Manchester United’s goalkeeper would wait until the takeover discussions are resolved before signing a new contract. The general consensus, though, is that he will prolong his time at Old Trafford.
Chelsea Transfer News: Will Chelsea still get Raya?
Their new manager Erik ten Hag is excited about adding De Gea to the team. But he is also interested in bringing Raya aboard. Ten Hag wants to bring in a goalkeeper who can compete with De Gea for playing time and take over as their starter down the line. Raya is also willing to sign with Manchester United.
He sees Raya as a promising possibility and plans to pursue him this summer. Given the competition for his services, it will be interesting to see if the 27-year-old ends up at Old Trafford, where he has expressed interest in joining the Red Devils.
