Ivan Provedel hasn’t been as good as in the past campaign so far, but he has built up enough of a reputation since moving to Lazio to draw the attention of major clubs such as, for instance, Manchester United. They aren’t satisfied with André Onana’s showings after a large investment to lure him, Il Messaggero informs (via OneFootball).
The goalie is already tied to the Biancocelesti long-term. However, he was promised an extension since he came in low wages. He was supposed to be a backup at first. President Claudio Lotito has recently blocked all the renewals considering the team’s lackluster performances this season.
Lazio plot to ask €35M to whoever comes asking for Provedel next summer, Manchester United included. The Red Devils spent €50M to acquire Onana from Inter. He hasn’t been up to snuff and had a few gaffes. His future might be connected to Erik Ten Hag. The gaffer was a big proponent of the signing and is on shaky ground.
The goalkeeper is contracted till 2027. His entourage is angling for a raise. However, the capital club has more pressing matters on their plate.
Our Take on Manchester United and Provedel
There’s basically zero chance of it happening, considering Onana and his reported price tag, but his agent is surely getting busy trying to get a new deal. The team has the upper hand, so he’ll have to wait for rosier times.
