Victor Lindelof of Manchester United has reportedly come into the focus of former team Benfica as well as four Premier League clubs and three Serie A sides, who all possess interest. Lindelof’s current contract at Old Trafford nears expiration with no discussions of renewal in process; leading many observers speculate about where his next move may lie.
Benfica are hoping that Lindelof can return as they look for someone to fill Nicolas Otamendi’s absence on defense. West Ham, Everton, Wolves and Fulham in particular are keeping tabs on his situation; seeing Lindelof either as an option as part of a squad player roster or starter.
The interest doesn’t end there; prestigious Italian clubs including AC Milan, Inter Milan, and Juventus have also identified Lindelof as a summer transfer target. Since his transfer from Benfica to Manchester United in 2017, Lindelof has been a consistent, if not an indispensable, presence in the team’s defense.
Lindelof Likely on the Move as Manchester United Plans Overhaul
Lindelof’s prospects may become uncertain under new manager Ruben Amorim as Manchester United seeks to rebuild their squad under him, particularly with Matthijs de Ligt and Leny Yoro coming in over summer, thus further diminishing Lindelof’s first-team opportunities.
Lindelof now has the freedom to consider his next move – whether staying within the competitive milieu of Premier League football, or embarking upon new adventures overseas. We await his decision as the summer transfer window nears.
