Lazio are reportedly considering a move for Manchester United defender Victor Lindelof as they look to bolster their defensive options.
United, who are set for a busy end to the transfer market with both arrivals and departures, have finally agreed a deal to sign midfielder Manuel Ugarte from Paris Saint Germain, while Scott McTominay will join Napoli.
There is a chance Raheem Sterling could move to Old Trafford in a sensational swap deal for Jadon Sancho, but there are other players the club are looking to move on before Friday’s deadline.
Lazio make a move for Lindelof
One of those players is Lindelof and the Sweden international has just one year left on his contract at Old Trafford.
The 30-year-old made 19 Premier League appearances last season as United slipped into eighth place, but is yet to feature for the Red Devils this season.
Italian outlet Di Marzio have reported that Lazio are considering a move for the Swede before the end of the window as they look to strengthen their squad.
Given Lindelof’s contract situation, it is unlikely that United would command a huge fee for the centre-back, but if Lazio are to make a move, they will need to do so as soon as the clock is ticking.
Lindelof, who joined United from Portuguese side Benfica in 2017, has made 259 appearances for the Red Devils and won the FA Cup and Carabao Cup during his time at Old Trafford.
The former Benfica man is versatile and although he is primarily a centre-back, he can also play on both the right-back and left-back if needed.
United are unlikely to offer Lindelof a new deal, so if they are to prevent him leaving on a free next summer, the club will need to find a solution in the coming days.
