According to leading football transfer expert, Fabrizio Romano, Manchester United are in fact one of the clubs highly interested in Atletico Madrid midfielder Saul Niguez.

Niguez, 26, has been with Atletico Madrid since he joined their youth academy all the way back in 2008.

However, despite growing to become one of the club’s most important and experienced players, last season saw the Spanish midfielder lose his place in Diego Simeone’s preferred 11.

Considered surplus to requirements, Niguez’s impending departure from the Wanda Metropolitano Stadium has now become a real possibility.
