Manchester United ready to complete the signing of outstanding £89m triple Serie A stars as new Italian target named -Reports

Three Serie A players are wanted by Manchester United, and defender Pietro Comuzzo is rumored to be their most recent target.

Manchester United is now in 13th place in the Premier League after losing 13 of their first 30 games.

United can salvage their season by winning the Europa League, but they were also eliminated from the FA Cup and League Cup. The Red Devils, who are favored to win the tournament, will play Lyon in the quarterfinals.

United will be able to sign more players this summer if they win the Europa League and earn a spot in the Champions League for the next season.

Head coach Ruben Amorim is planning a rebuild as he needs a host of new stars who can thrive in his 3-4-2-1 formation.

According to CaughtOffside, Fiorentina’s Comuzzo has recently emerged on Amorim and United’s shortlist.

The right-footed centre-back is only 20 years old but is already a regular in Fiorentina’s starting XI, having made 33 appearances so far this term.

Comuzzo’s solid displays have seen him get into the Italy setup and also impress United scouts.

United admire Comuzzo for his physical strength, game intelligence and his ability on the ball. Plus, at 20 he has plenty of time to get even better and develop into a top-class central defender.

Amorim has identified the rising star as a player who can replace the likes of Harry Maguire and Victor Lindelof at Old Trafford next season.

United must be wary of other clubs who are looking at Comuzzo, such as Arsenal, Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur and Juventus.

Napoli previously offered €35million for his services but had that bid rejected by Fiorentina.

United will likely have to pay €40-45m (up to £38m / $50m) to snare him later this year.

Comuzzo is not the only Serie A talent United are spying a deal for. It emerged on Monday that United have made Udinese’s Lorenzo Lucca their newest striker target.

Reports in the Italian press claim United are tempted by Lucca’s price tag, which is an achievable €35m (£30m / $39m).
