Man Utd: Solskjaer guesses players from childhood photos
Manchester United’s interest in Federico Valverde has been well-publicised in recent days. And Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has reportedly made the Real Madrid star a PRIORITY target for the summer window - but any transfer deal still appears unlikely due to the midfielder’s huge buyout clause.
Manchester United boss Solskjaer is keen to sign another midfielder this summer, despite currently having the likes of Fred, Nemanja Matic, Scott McTominay, Bruno Fernandes and Paul Pogba at his disposal.
And, in the past week, the Red Devils have been linked with Valverde.
Now, Catalan newspaper Sport say Solskjaer has made the Real Madrid star one of his priorities for the summer transfer window.
The Norwegian has been impressed by Valverde’s rise to prominence at the Bernabeu, with the 21-year-old becoming a vital asset for manager Zinedine Zidane.
But while United have now moved Valverde into the priority category, any transfer still seems unlikely.
And that’s because of Real putting a huge £450million buyout clause into the midfielder’s contract.
