Victor Lindel0f will be one of several senior players on their way out of Manchester United this summer.
After eight years at Old Trafford, the Swedish defender’s time is winding down and his contract has run out.
Once a £31 million signing from Benfica, Lindelof was brought in to stabilise the defence.
While he never fully convinced as a long-term first-choice centre-back, he’s had his moments.
From successfully partnering Harry Maguire in 2020/21 to playing a key squad roles in the recent Carabao Cup and FA Cup wins, Lindelof has offered professionalism, composure and versatility – even filling in at left-back last season when injuries piled up.
But with younger, more athletic options now on the radar, United are ready to move on.
Lindelof, now 30, will want minutes and a settled environment to see out the twilight of his career
That probably won’t happen at United.
With Lindelof available as a free agent this summer, here are four clubs that could offer him the fresh start he needs.

Benfica
An option that seems to be emerging for Victor Lindelof is a return to Benfica.
Lindelof’s breakthrough came at Benfica before joining United and a reunion wouldn’t be out of the question.
Benfica’s defensive setup could soon open up space for him too.
Nicolas Otamendi’s contract is expiring, and several of their other centre-backs are attracting interest from abroad.
With reinforcements needed and Lindelof available on a free, the timing feels right.
He knows the league and would slot into a system that favours composed ball-playing centre-backs.
At Benfica, he wouldn’t be asked to play on the edge of the physical limits each week like in the Premier League.
If Lindelof’s priority is comfort, consistency, and Champions League football, this could be a smart move.

Wolves
A move to Wolves would keep Victor Lindelof in the Premier League and could offer him the regular football he’s lacked at Manchester United.
Wolves are quietly looking to strengthen their backline this summer with Lindelof this summer.
Especially with long-term concerns over depth in central defence.
Lindelof’s calm distribution and box defending could make him a valuable addition to a side that often defends deep and looks to build from the back.
It wouldn’t be a flashy move, but it would be practical.
Wolves have a strong track record of giving experienced Premier League players another chance – and Lindelof could benefit from a club with less spotlight and more stability.
For the player, it would mean staying in England, avoiding the need for adaptation, and playing a key role rather than rotating in and out.
For Wolves, it could be a smart, low-risk signing with proven pedigree.

Juventus
Juventus are rebuilding – and experienced players like Lindelof could help stabilise the project.
The Turin side still value defensive solidity and so the links to Lindelof make sense.
Lindelof would bring quiet authority, and he fits the mould of previous Juve centre-backs who weren’t flashy but got the job done.
With no transfer fee and relatively modest wage demands compared to other top-tier defenders.
Lindelof could be the kind of signing Juventus make to plug gaps without long-term risk.
Inter Milan
Inter are never far from a clever defensive signing – and Lindelof could be next on their list.
The Swedish international is built for Serie A.
He’s tactically disciplined, smart in his positioning, and technically sound.
Italy’s top flight is less physically demanding than the Premier League.
Placing far more emphasis on reading of the game and defensive awareness, areas where Lindelöf excels.
Even with Simone Inzaghi’s departure, Inter seem to be sticking with a back three.
This would suit Lindelof’s style and increase the demand for reliable centre-backs in the squad.
He may not start every week, but in a rotation role during a long league campaign and another Champions League run.
Lindelof could bring experience, composure, and consistency at a time when Inter are aiming to stay at the top of Italian football after a managerial change.
