manchester united They are reportedly willing to spend big to sign. Villa Aston star Pau Torres, according to the Spanish media Transfers.
After enduring a terrible campaign last season, the Red Devils prioritized strengthening the defensive department this summer. So after buying Leny Yoro from LOSC Lille, they also signed Matthijs de Ligt from Bayern Munich.
However, although Yoro is yet to make his United debut due to his injury problems, De Ligt has had a difficult start to his life at the first division. Additionally, Lisandro Martínez has also had a difficult start this season.
So, it seems that the record Premier League champions have already started exploring options in the market to strengthen the defensive department once again next year.
According to the report of TransfersMan Utd have registered their interest in Torres and are “willing” to spend a fee of around £42 million (€50 million) to lure him to Old Trafford.
Torres to Manchester United
Aston Villa does not rule out the possibility of selling the Spaniard if it receives an offer close to the reported price. Therefore, Man Utd could secure his signature if they make a move.
The Red Devils have a long-term interest in the 27-year-old, having been heavily linked with a move for him a few years ago. But they decided not to formalize their interest and the Villans finally managed to secure his signature.
Torres has been enjoying a stellar time at Villa Park over the last few years. He helped his team finish in the top four of the Premier League and qualify for the champions league last quarter.
The defender has also been excellent this season and kept a clean sheet against Bayern Munich in the Champions League in midweek. Furthermore, he helped Aston Villa's winner in that match.
United will now face Aston Villa in the Premier League on Sunday and will have the opportunity to closely follow their performance in this match.
It will be interesting to see if the record Premier League champions ultimately opt to take a concrete approach to securing his signature in 2025 to strengthen the backline.
