Manchester United are interested in signing the Villarreal defender Pau Torres.
According to reports, there is a growing belief that the Red Devils can sign the Spaniard this summer, and there has been progress over a potential move.
Manchester United will have to bring in a quality defensive partner for Harry Maguire, and Torres certainly seems like a quality option.
Defensively the Premier League side have been vulnerable this past season, and signing a top-class defender should be a priority for them if they want to win the Premier League title.
Torres has proven his quality in the Spanish league, and he has the talent to succeed in the English Premier League as well.
The chance to join a club like Manchester United will be a tempting proposition for the player, and it remains to be seen whether the Premier League side can agree on a fee with his club now.
The defender has had an exceptional league campaign with Villarreal this past year, and he helped them win the Europa League. He has a release clause of around €60 million, and Villarreal will demand that United pay up if they want to secure his services.
Torres has a contract with the Spanish club until the summer of 2024, and they are under no pressure to sell him just yet. Villarreal are in a strong position to negotiate, and United will have to pay a premium to sign the player.
