Juventus considering swoop for Manchester United defender

Juventus are considering the option of signing Manchester United defender Victor Lindelof during the summer transfer window.

The Sweden international has been with the Red Devils since the summer of 2017. He has made 240 appearances in all competitions.

He is currently a regular starter in central defence with Lisandro Martinez injured, but his future with the club remains uncertain.

Lindelof's current deal expires at the end of the campaign and as things stand, the club are yet to open talks over a new long-term deal.

The Swede has the option of negotiating a pre-contract with Juventus in January, but United could trigger his 12-month extension clause.

Either way, he is contemplating a move elsewhere, considering United are already preparing to pursue a top-class centre-back next summer.

Jean-Clair Todibo, Antonio Silva and Edmond Tapsoba are options under the club's consideration for the 2024 summer transfer window.

Lindelof may not want to stay with the club, considering he could become the fourth-choice centre-back behind Varane, Martinez and the new signing.
