According to Tuttosport, Manchester United could follow a new central defender.
The Red Devils have had a productive summer transfer window. The responsibility has strengthened the forward department after a gloomy season 2024/25.
Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo have already been signed, while RB Leipzig -Spits Benjamin Sesko is expected to join the club within 48 hours.
More signing sessions can be made, and tuttosport (via Florenceviola) claim that the Red Devils followed Fiorentina’s Pietro Comuzzo in the preseason.
Sunderland and Nottingham Forest also followed the young center-back, which was interesting from Napoli at the beginning of the year.
Fiorentina rejected £ 26 million plus bonuses from Napoli last winter, and they are expected to be at least £ 35 million to punish his sale this summer.
Man Utd could follow a late deal for Comuzzo
The 20-year-old had a good breakthrough season with Fiorentina, with 44 performances in all competitions.
The center-back won 60 percent of his duels in addition to three clearance and three recovery per match.
Comuzzo also took the eye with his approach and distribution from the right center-back position.
The young Italian made a big impression in Florence and United could try to take him to Old Trafford.
A transfer cannot be excluded, given the ambition of Ineos with their considerable editions to support the manager.
They have already made a huge edition of £ 134 million on Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo to strengthen the attack.
The expenditure spree will amount to more than £ 200 million with the expected arrival of Benjamin Sesko from RB Leipzig for £ 74 million.
The club also looks at a defensive midfielder and has their sights on Brighton & Hove Albion’s Carlos Baleba.
A center-back can also be signed to compensate for the departure of Victor Lindelof and Jonny Evans this summer.
Comuzzo would fit perfectly, since he is only 20 years old and has the potential to become an elite central defender.
