Reports suggest that Manchester United are showing interest in a summer transfer of 20-year-old centre-back Pietro Comuzzo from Fiorentina. The defender has made an great impact in Serie A this season. He has now a key part of Fiorentina’s backline.
Meanwhile, there is uncertainty around Harry Maguire and several other players in Utd’s back four at the moment. So, Comuzzo might turn out to be a good long-term signing at Old Trafford. However, Football Insider suggest that Fiorentina will not let their new young defender leave for less than £20-25m.
If the Red Devils make a formal bid there is another question. As it will likely come down to whether Man Utd secure qualification for next seasons UCL, or not. Winning the the UEFA Europa League final against Tottenham will get them their UCL spot for the next term. And it may free up enough funds to sign Comuzzo this June. He will likely be one of their first signings of the summer transfer window.
English Giants Set to Battle for Italian Target
Man Utd aren’t alone in the race for the centre-back. Arsenal and Chelsea are also following the defender, looking to add more depth in their squads for next term. Both London clubs are keen to increase the strength of their defensive line this June. And given Comuzzo’s ability and form in Italy, he is very likely on their list.
The Italian talent has drawn praise from Fiorentina boss Raffaele Palladino this campaign. With top English clubs circling, the chance to play in England could be a huge step forward for Comuzzo. Playing regular football in one of the strongest league in the world is certainly a great way to grow and develop.
There is no doubt that both clubs are in a position to meet the asking price of Fiorentina. So, we will see which club makes the first offer. Whoever lands the young defender could end up with a future PL star for sure.
