According to Canal 26, Manchester United have made their interest known in 20-year-old South American midfield prospect Milton Delgado. The Boca Juniors star is no longer a part of the current management of the Argentine club, as the Red Devils could think about making an offer.
Milton Delgado is an emerging midfielder coming through at Boca Juniors. The Argentine U-20 star has been a prominent figure in former club manager Fernando Gago’s plans and was one of the best performers then. However, new coach Miguel Angel Russo has left the midfielder out of his plans, which has opened speculation surrounding his future.
Boca Juniors believe they will have offers, with some South American sides certainly showing an interest. However, the Argentine side are eager for offers to come in from abroad, as Manchester United are now reportedly keen to sign the 20-year-old South American midfield prospect.
The report states that Delgado is currently valued at €5.5 million, although Boca Juniors might demand double that. The midfielder has a contract until December 2028, which could see the club demand significantly for their young star.
Manchester United’s interest might come as a surprise to many of their fans, although the club are tracking several young talents from South America. The report states that the Red Devils could ponder making an offer, as it remains to be seen whether they do.
Manchester United are eager to bring in midfield reinforcements this summer, as they have set their sights on Atalanta’s Ederson. There are other names in the mix for Ruben Amorim to consider, as he looks to build some sections of his squad in anticipation of performing well next season.
The club are also looking for a younger profile of a midfielder following links to Javi Guerra from Valencia. Hence, their interest in Delgado makes plenty of sense, as the Argentine could be a player they can develop into a top-rated star for the future. His modest price tag could also prove appealing, as a move could be possible in this window.
