TOP STORY: Man Utd keen on Torres
Manchester United are already making plans for next season and could make a move for Villarreal centre-back Pau Torres, according to Manchester Evening News.
The Premier League side were linked with the 25-year-old last summer before eventually securing the signing of Raphael Varane. But with the France international missing a number of games through injury this season, the club have now decided on acquiring a centre-back when the transfer window opens.
It is understood that the Red Devils will look to move on both Eric Bailly and Phil Jones in the summer to help make room for the addition of a new defender, with Torres escalated to the top of the Old Trafford hierarchy’s shortlist.
The Spain international is reported to have a release clause in his contract for a fee of €60 million, and while he is open to leaving his boyhood club at the end of the season, he is currently focused on his side’s run in the Champions League, with Villarreal set to meet Liverpool in the first leg of the semifinals on April 27.
