Man Utd renew transfer interest in £40m star after missing out on 2023 deal -Reports
Eighteen months after missing out on a low-cost goalkeeper deal, Manchester United has renewed their interest in Zion Suzuki, a star for Parma.
In 2023, the Red Devils nearly completed a transfer for Suzuki, even reaching an agreement on a price with the young goalie’s former team, Urawa Red Diamonds.
However, out of concern for his playing time at Old Trafford, Suzuki chose to join Belgian team Sint-Truidense VV after Andre Onana secured a move from Inter Milan to United that same summer.
‘My dream is to play in the Premier League,’ Suzuki told Japanese Soccer Digest Web at the time.
‘It’s true that I received an offer from Manchester United but United have acquired Onana this season, so I want to play at a level where I can play.’
‘Even though I can’t go there now, I definitely want to go there in a few years. To make progress step by step, I decided to move to Belgium.’
Suzuki went on to make 32 appearances in all competitions for Sint-Truidense VV last term and earned himself an £8.5million switch to Parma, with the Japan international putting pen to paper on a five-year deal.
According to talkSPORT, Parma are determined to keep hold of Suzuki for at least another season but the shot-stopper’s impressive performances in Serie A have caught the attention of United once again.
It’s claimed United are one of a number of Europe’s top clubs ‘eyeing up’ Suzuki and could test Parma’s resolve with an offer for the promising 22-year-old.
The report suggests a bid in the region of £40m could be enough to lure Suzuki away from the Stadio Ennio Tardini.
Suzuki, who has been capped 16 times by the Japan national team, is tied into a contract with Parma until the summer of 2029.
Onana has nailed down his place as United’s number one since arriving from Inter Milan but the Cameroonian has cost the club with a series of high-profile errors throughout his stay in the north west.
Back-up goalkeeper Altay Bayindir deputised for Onana in United’s recent FA Cup victory over Arsenal and made himself an instant hero with his display between the sticks, denying Martin Odegaard from the spot before starring in a nervy penalty shootout at the Emirates.
‘Your life as a footballer has cycles and moments, and sometimes in one week you life can change,’ Amorim said of Bayindir’s showing in north London.
