Manchester United enter race for Brazilian defender

30 July 2020 - 21:09

Manchester United have reportedly joined the likes of Chelsea and Everton in the race to sign Gabriel Magalhaes from Lille this summer.

  • Chelsea midfielder looking forward to London derby vs Spurs
  • Arsenal in the front row to sign Dutch striker

  • The Brazilian made 34 appearances for the French outfit during the 2019/2020 campaign before their season was curtailed due to the coronavirus pandemic.

    The Toffees were fancied to sign him for around £20m earlier this year, but Lille opted to freeze on the proposal after learning of the widespread interest from European sides.

    Lille president Gerard Lopez has confirmed that the centre-back will leave the club this summer and it appears that United have joined the player's pursuit.

    United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is keen on signing a new central defensive partner for Harry Maguire as he is not entirely convinced over Victor Lindelof's displays.

    Lille are said to be looking for around £30m to part ways with the 22-year-old. Paris Saint-Germain and Napoli have also been credited with an interest in the former Avai graduate.
