Transfer interest in David Raum

Overview

Juventus and Manchester United continue to compete for RB Leipzig captain and German defender David Raum. The 28-year-old left-back has become a primary target for clubs seeking defensive reinforcements.

As Raum enters the final stages of his contract, interest has intensified. While Juventus has made preliminary inquiries and maintains good relations with the player’s circle, they face significant competition from Premier League clubs, including Manchester United, Liverpool, and AFC Bournemouth. Raum has previously expressed interest in the Premier League, giving a ‘green light’ to a potential move to Old Trafford.

Manchester United has identified Raum as its primary target for the January transfer window to address defensive vulnerabilities and fitness concerns regarding Luke Shaw. Given that his contract with RB Leipzig runs until the summer of 2027, the Bundesliga club may consider a sale in January to avoid losing him for a reduced fee or on a free transfer later. A fee in the region of £30 million is viewed as a potential way to secure the German international.

While United monitors other options—including Miguel Gutierrez of Bayer Leverkusen, Alejandro Balde of Barcelona, Adrien Truffert of Bournemouth, and Jarrad Branthwaite of Everton—Raum remains the priority due to his profile as an offensively active defender who can provide immediate reliability.
