Manchester United are reportedly planning a shock late transfer window move to sign Getafe midfielder Mauro Arambarri.
The 25-year-old is one of the best all-around midfielders in LaLiga, where he has shone at Getafe since 2017.
He’s made 143 appearances during his time at the LaLiga outfit and has caught the eye with his all-action displays.
He’s been mentioned as a player United were keeping their eyes on in the past. Now, according to AS, they have been given strong encouragement that a deal could be finalised this summer.
The Uruguay international has just two years left on his deal and appears unlikely to sign an extension. And Getafe knows that the time is right to sell now to maximise his market value.
Barcelona has already been in touch with regards to a possible deal. However, with finances tight, they are looking at a loan-to-buy option.
Also Being tracked by Valencia and Atletico Madrid, it’s who United look best placed to move for the midfielder as a deal worth £25m has been mooted.
Furthermore, Arambarri could help United play the more expansive brand of football Ole Gunnar Solskjaer craves. The Norwegian wants to sign a midfielder capable of doing the job of both Scott McTominay and Fred.
While the pair have done well together, there’s a fear they could come unstuck playing individually against the better sides. And that’s where Arambarri could come in as a potential fix
