According to reports, manchester United's transfer negotiations with La Liga Villarreal defender Paw Torres have reached an in-depth stage of negotiations. Torres has played 29 rounds of La Liga this season, scoring 2 goals.
United need to find a stronger partner for Maguire, with Spain's El Larguero saying Torres has been selected as the best man by Manchester United and looks to complete the transfer before this summer's European Championship.
Real Madrid are also interested in Torres, and Florentino Perez is angry that Manchester United have grabbed people with them. Now, the final destination depends on the player himself, and western media say he wants to join Manchester United.
Torres' deal-breaking clause is currently £43.4 million, but if it drags on until the last 15 days of the summer transfer window, that figure rises to £56.4 million.
If bought for £56.4 million, Torres would be the fifth most expensive signing the club has ever made, just behind United's cost of bringing in Pogba, Maguire, Lukaku and Di Maria. But if it only costs 43.4 million, it's not too expensive.
It is worth mentioning that Manchester United had the opportunity to meet Paou Torres in the Europa League final, who helped Villarreal take a 2-1 lead over Arsenal in the first leg of the semi-finals.
After the match, Torres regretted being scored by Arsenal's penalty in the second half, saying: "Arsenal escaped alive. Obviously, we won, which is a good result, but if you watch the game go by, we should kill the suspense. I can't explain what happened in the second half, we had a clear chance to score, but they got a penalty, I didn't see it, so it was slow."
Torres confirmed that in front of the summer transfer window, he has been seeking advice from friends: "The players in the squad who have played for important clubs, I like to listen to them when they talk about their experiences, including Paco Alcacel (Barca, Borussia Dortmund), Raul Albiór (Real Madrid, Napoli) or Alberto Moreno (Liverpool, Sevilla)."
Meanwhile, United's bid for Juventus winger Kulusevsky was rejected. Italy's Football Market Network reported that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was interested in 21-year-old Kulusevsky, but Juve insisted they would not sell him.
Last year, Kulusevsky joined Juve from Atlanta and was subsequently leased to Parma. This season, he returned to Juve and was reused, scoring six goals and assisting four times in 41 appearances. Manager Pirlo believes in two or three years he will be a big player: "He is close to becoming a champion, coming to Juve at the age of 20, it takes time to be natural, you face pressure and every pass counts. He has the spirit of a champion, he has a better attitude than his performance, so I think he can succeed."
