TALKS BEGIN: Agent spotted in Manchester as Man United hold talks to sign 23-year Old Real Madrid superstar as Club prepared for £52m sale this summer.

According to Spanish outlet Sport, Manchester United have made contact with Real Madrid regarding a possible deal for midfielder Eduardo Camavinga this summer.

The Red Devils are in the transfer market for midfield reinforcements. They have already secured a verbal agreement to land Atalanta’s Ederson, and are eyeing at least another marquee acquisition.

West Ham United’s Mateus Fernandes has been earmarked as the next target, but Man United have no plans of meeting the Hammers’ £80 million valuation to sign the Portugal international.

This could urge them to pursue an alternative and Sport claim that the Red Devils have already made contact with Madrid regarding the availability of the Frenchman. Los Blancos seem prepared to sell him for £52 million.

However, a deal does not appear straightforward with the former Rennes graduate having no desire to leave the La Liga giants. The 23-year-old is determined to continue with the club next term.

Difficult deal
United have already sealed a verbal agreement to land Ederson. The Brazilian can operate as a defensive or holding midfielder, but United may want a strong competitor to the Atalanta man.

The club are set to lose Casemiro when his contract expires at the end of June. Manuel Ugarte could leave the club too, having failed to meet expectations since he arrived from Paris Saint-Germain.
