Victor Lindelof of Manchester United has become sought-after free agent as his contract comes to an end and as Manchester United has not offered him another contract extension, increasing interest from clubs both inside the Premier League and internationally.
Fulham, Everton, West Ham and Wolves have shown strong interest in Lindelof in England; though Juventus, Inter Milan and Benfica also showed enthusiasm. Lindelof appears eager to remain within England; according to reports.
Lindelof’s Next Steps Beyond Manchester United
Lindelof’s tenure at Manchester United has been marked by solid performances, though he has often been seen as not quite fitting the mold of a first-team regular for a squad of United’s caliber. The decision to let him go seems aligned with Manchester United’s strategy, as they look to remodel their team under new management and with several other defensive options already ahead of Lindelof.
Lindelof has found much success navigating the free agent market thanks to an enormous demand for his services, including from Manchester United fans who will likely wish him well wherever his future lies – though some may harbor concerns that seeing Lindelof competing against them in future may make for unnerved reactions.
Lindelof’s experience and reliability make him an attractive option for clubs seeking to strengthen their defense without incurring transfer fees. When the summer transfer window opens in June 2019, it will be interesting to see which club he chooses as his new employer in his next chapter of career development.
