Manchester United have been heavily linked with Alphonso Davies, one of the world’s best left-backs, for the past six months. The Canadian’s negotiations with Bayern Munich had stalled, United and Real Madrid saw their opportunity to pick up the high-speed train on a free transfer in the summer. The Premier League club is still resigning, now a verbal agreement has been made with a teenager.
According to The Athletic, Davies is no longer a priority at Manchester United. This week, it was announced that the club has set its sights on Paraguayan left-back Diego Leon with his 19 appearances at senior level.
The hyperactive transfer journalist Romano reports that a verbal agreement has been struck, with Leon signed for less than £10 million in total, including bonuses.
Welcome to the new Manchester United. Low transfer fee, low salary demands, great potential – over time.
