Newcastle United, West Ham United and Everton are all interested in signing Manchester United centre-back Victor Lindelof.
According to a report from CaughtOffside, Victor Lindelof could part ways with Manchester United in the upcoming transfer window. The Swedish centre-back is on the wishlist of Newcastle, West Ham and Everton amongst other clubs from across Europe.
Lindelof made a name for himself while playing for Benfica before making the move to United in the summer of 2017. While the 30-year-old was an integral part of the first-team setup over the years, he is more of a backup option under Ruben Amorim.
He has only featured in eight matches this season and has racked up less than 300 minutes. With his contract running out at the end of the ongoing campaign, his future has become a massive talking point.
A new deal looks very unlikely as the Swedish international is not a part of their future plans. With him free to leave the club next summer, United seem prepared to sanction his departure in the upcoming winter transfer window.
Lindelof could remain in the Premier League
While Lindelof could choose to run down his contract and leave as a free agent ahead of next season, he is open to an early exit and won’t mind leaving the club in January. West Ham, Newcastle and Everton are three English clubs who want to sign the veteran centre-back who has featured in 267 matches for the Red Devils.
Both the Hammers and the Magpies seek more depth in the heart of the defence. They want to bring in someone who has experience of playing at the very highest level. They feel Lindelof’s experience could do wonders for their team.
Meanwhile, the Toffees are fighting for survival and they would love some support from a veteran star who has been a consistent performer in the English top flight. The Red Devils will look to demand a fee of around €7-8 million to let go of their defender. But, it will be interesting to see if any of the interested clubs will be ready to match that figure as they can sign him for free in a few month’s time.
