Report: Manchester United now want £33.8m defender who is more progressive than Lisandro Martinez


After attempts to sign Jarrad Branthwaite failed, now Manchester United have turned attention to another target.

The search for a centre-back this summer is already proving to be more difficult than it really should be for Manchester United with Jarrad Branthwaite proving too expensive.

Meanwhile, an approach has been made for Leny Yoro who’d be the ideal Raphael Varanereplacement although he is in favour of a move to Real Madrid.

But despite these setbacks and frustrations, it is a position United need to and will strengthen this summer, which is why we’re now seeing other names targeted.


Riccardo Calafiori grabs the attention of Manchester United

For Ineos, plans to secure Jarrad Branthwaite as the big centre-half acquisition of the summer look to have stalled with Everton unwilling to compromise on a £70m price tag.

Therefore, rightfully, Manchester United have now reportedly shifted focus onto one of football’s hottest emerging centre-backs in Riccardo Calafiori of Bologna.

As reported by Tutto Juve, United have also had their eye caught by Calafiori during his breakout season and now impressive Euros campaign.
