EKO HOT BLOG reports that the agents of Villarreal defender Pau Torres will this week travel to Manchester in order to discuss a potential move to Manchester United.
According to Villarreal’s local newspaper Deportes de Periodico Mediterraneo (h/t Express), Manchester United could be close to signing Villarreal defender Pau Torres, as his agents are willing to travel to Manchester to discuss a potential summer move.
Torres was an instrumental part of the Villarreal team that made it to the semi-finals of the Champions League this term, beating teams like Bayern Munich and Juventus along the way.
They eventually lost out to Liverpool, with the English side preparing to meet Real Madrid in the final in a few days.
The 25-year-old has played for the La Liga side his entire life, coming through the ranks at the club’s academy and establishing himself in the first team.
His performances for the Yellow Submarines have caught the attention of United, who are in the market for a new central defender.
The Red Devils are familiar with the Spaniard and have seen him perform well up close when they faced off against Unai Emery’s men last year in the UEFA Europa League final. Torres’ side would triumph over the Premier League giants, beating them in a long-drawn penalty shootout.
Although the Spanish international has a release clause valued at £50m, Villarreal are open to letting go of their academy product for around £45m.
The club are struggling financially, and are therefore prepared to sell him for slightly lower than his price tag.
Aside from United, Real Madrid and Tottenham Hotspur have also indicated a keen interest in making a summer move for the defender.
