Pietro Comuzzo linked with Man Utd, Bournemouth

Italian centre-back Pietro Comuzzo is a target for Manchester United and Bournemouth, as the Fiorentina player has attracted bids of around £18 million. The player, who made his first-team debut in 2023, is said to be keen on a move to the Premier League and United are leading the race to sign the under-20 international.

His consistent performances have caught the attention of several Premier League clubs - most notably Bournemouth and Manchester United - and an offer will follow before the transfer window slams shut.

He excels in tackles, interceptions, blocks, and clearances, his percentile rankings are solid compared to top centre-backs in Europe's top leagues. For instance, he ranks around the 72nd percentile for tackles, 64th percentile for interceptions, and 73rd percentile for blocks.

Comuzzo is a highly composed, physically strong centre-back with intelligent positioning, solid defensive metrics, and a progressive passing edge. He offers versatility across defensive setups and has the leadership traits rare for his age. It's easy to see why Bournemouth might view him as a reliable upgrade, while Manchester United likely see him as an investable long-term defensive core.

United manager Ruben Amorim is seeking backup players for his defence, particularly with uncertainty over the long-term future of Harry Maguire.
