According to Romano, Lindelof was never close to leaving Man United this summer, despite rumours about a potential switch to several clubs around Europe, including Benfica, Fiorentina and Fenerbahce.
With less than 12 months remaining on his current deal, the Sweden international is among several Man United stars who are on expiring contracts, including Christian Eriksen, Jonny Evans and Hannibal Mejbri.
Academy graduate Scott McTominay could soon become the latest departure, with Napoli now close to completing a permanent move for the Scottish international after agreeing on a fee in the region of 30 million pounds with the Red Devils.
Lindelof ‘Happy to Stay’ at Man United
Ahead of his contract expiry
Romano, speaking to GMS, revealed that Lindelof could still consider ‘a big opportunity’ this summer, but he is not desperate to leave Man United:
“For Lindelof, the situation is quite clear. He has one year left on his contract, so he’s not desperate to leave the club.
“We had many rumors about Benfica, Fiorentina, many other clubs, also Turkish clubs at the beginning of the summer transfer window, but what I heard is that Lindelof was never close to joining any of those clubs.
“So for Lindelof it is very clear, or a big opportunity, a big club arrives in the final days, and he could consider that possibility.
“Otherwise, he’s more than happy to stay at Manchester United and pick his favorite club as a free agent next summer, or starting from January. So Lindelof is not desperate to go in the final days.”
