According to Italian outlet TuttomercatowebManchester United has a strong interest in signing Fiorentina Center-back Pietro Comuzzo this summer.
The Red Devils were disappointing last season as a defensive unit, and manager Ruben Amorim was able to find a Center-back after the departure of Victor Lindelof and Jonny Evans.
Comuzzo is highly regarded in the Serie A after a fantastic breakout campaign, and Tuttomercatoweb claim that man United belongs to the three Premier League clubs that want to land his signature.
Nottingham Forest and Sunderland are also its admirers, but Fiorentina still has to receive an official transfer bod.
Top talent
In the course of the previous campaign, Comuzzo established itself as a regular starter for Fiorentina. He led 33 performances in the Italian top flight where La Viola finished sixth in the rankings.
The 20-year-old was brilliant with his ground and air challenges and won an impressive 60% of his duels. He also made more than 3 approvals and 2 recovery per game, and did not shy away from making tackles.
United has spent more than £ 130 million this summer to sign Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo and Diego Leon, and could be the focus for the short term on earning the funds of player sales for late expenditures.
Comuzzo, which completed 86% of his last campaign, would be a great signing because of his enormous potential. Because he is a right-sided center back, he was able to work at United in the middle or on the right side of the back of the back.
The Red Devils have Leny Yoro, Noussair Mazraoui, Harry Maguire and Matthijs de Ligt for those two positions, but manager Ruben Amorim may want more depth, given the early injuries last season.
Earlier this year, Comuzzo wrote a new and improved contract in Fiorentina, but he could still go to the starting door for the right price. Soccer sinsider claim that a package between £ 20-25 million could praise him.
United should not have a problem to pay such a reimbursement, on condition that there can be agreed. They may have to move quickly for the player, since Forest can be strong competitors after securing European football.
Forest signed Nikola Milenkovic from Fiorentina last summer and should have good relationships with the Serie A -Outfit. The responsibility is for United to make a faster approach to beat their Premier League rivals for the player.
