Manchester United set to revive interest in €60m La Liga defender
The Red Devils could reignite their transfer interest in Villarreal center-back Pau Torres for this summer.
Manchester United considered the 25-year-old last summer before signing Raphael Varane. Injury problems, however, have caused Varane to miss several games this season. Eric Bailly and Phil Jones could also be on their way out of Old Trafford. Therefore, United have decided to sign a new central defender.
Torres is on the club’s shortlist. The Spain international has a reported €60 million release clause. But while he is open to a summer move, his focus lies on Villarreal’s upcoming Champions League semi-final against Liverpool. The first leg takes place at Anfield next Wednesday.
