Manchester United have supposedly dispatched an enormous £68.5million offer to land Marcos Llorente from Atletico Madrid in the late spring, says AS.
In the wake of neglecting to get normal football at Real Madrid, Llorente traded loyalties in the Spanish capital back in 2019 and has since gotten one of the best midfielders in La Liga.
Despite the fact that his initial profession at the Wanda Metropolitano saw the Spaniard go back and forth, his stunning presentation against Liverpool in last season’s Champions League ends up being a vocation vital turning point for him.
Diego Simeone understood the 26-year-old’s assaulting potential at Anfield and has since begun conveying Llorente in a further developed position. Making the most of his job higher up the pitch, the exceptionally evaluated midfielder has counted ten goals and nine helps across 35 appearances this term.
Close by Luis Suarez, he has been the thumping heart of this Atletico group that is nearly guaranteeing their first La Liga title in quite a while. Winning the alliance prize could be the most ideal path for Llorente to say goodbye to Madrid, with Old Trafford mooted for his next landing spot.
Los Colchoneros would most likely not consider United’s offer if the conditions were unique. In any case, the Spanish juggernauts are gazing at financial unrest because of the Covid emergency, which could constrain them to sell their first-group star in the mid-year.
Pogba Out – Llorente In
As per Sports lens, United’s quest for Llorente demonstrates that the Red Devils are setting themselves up for life after Paul Pogba. The Frenchman tossed his presence at Old Trafford into question some time prior and has since would not give any protection in regards to his drawn-out future.
Real Madrid and Juventus are sneaking, hanging tight for the 28-year-old’s representative Mino Raiola to make ready for his player’s Premier League exit. Manchester United are looking for a swap for Pogba and appears to have picked Llorente as his replacement.
The Spaniard is anything but an indistinguishable imitation of the previous Juve midfielder, given he doesn’t have similar specialized credits as his United partner. In any case, Llorente compensates for this with aggressive, high-octane exhibitions and an ability to forfeit for the group.
The 26-year-old’s interminable work rate and his handling capacity would assist with facilitating Bruno Fernandes’ weight and lift United’s down in the focal point of the pitch.
