Jorge Salinas continues to be linked with a move to Manchester United.
The Spanish under-19 international is highly rated across Europe, and he is on the radar of Manchester United and Newcastle United. The left-back has a €16 million release clause in his contract with Real Sociedad, and the Premier League clubs certainly have the financial muscle to get the deal done.
According to a report from SPORT, Manchester United are willing to pay the asking price for the defender. Meanwhile, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid are keen on the young defender as well. Salinas is reportedly prioritising a move to Barcelona. It remains to be seen whether the Spanish champions are willing to pay the asking price. They are hoping to sign him below his release clause.
Manchester United will certainly hope that Barcelona walk away from the deal, and they have the resources to get the deal across the line as well. They need a long-term replacement for Luke Shaw, and the Spanish under-19 international could prove to be a bargain for €16 million.
He has the physicality and technical attributes to play for a big club, and he could develop into a key player for the Red Devils with the right guidance.
Manchester United have done well to nurture young players over the years, and they could play a key role in helping him fulfil his potential.
Meanwhile, Salinas needs to join a club where he can play regularly. The 19-year-old will need assurance from Manchester United over game time before the move can go through. It will be interesting to see how the situation unfolds over the next few weeks.
