In recent weeks, it has been widely reported that this season will be Andrea Berta's last at Atletico Madrid. Having initially joined the club in 2013, the sporting director is expected to move on once his contract expires at the end of the season. However, he could end up leaving the Metropolitano sooner rather than later, especially if an opportunity comes up.

This opportunity could be Manchester Unitedwhich they shared with their own sporting director Dan Ashworth in recent days. According to Gianluca Di Marziothe Premier League giants are considering an approach for Berta, although he is just one of many names on the club's shortlist.
