Manchester United are interested in signing Porto midfielder Victor Fromholt in the January transfer window.
They are not the only Premier League club keen on the 19-year-old central midfielder. According to Fichajes, they will face competition from Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur.
A move to Manchester United could be ideal for Victor Fromholt
Froholt has a release clause of €85 million in his contract, and it will be interesting to see whether Manchester United are willing to pay that amount. They are preparing a previous proposal for the young midfielder for the winter transfer window. They could use more quality and depth in the middle of the park and the 19-year-old could be a useful long-term acquisition.
He is highly regarded throughout Europe and has a bright future. The opportunity to play for Manchester United will be exciting for him. The Danish midfielder wants to test himself at the highest level and a move to the Premier League would be ideal. Playing regular football in England will bring out the best in him and help him realize his potential.
Will Arsenal be able to offer Fromholt game time?
Arsenal, on the other hand, have a wealth of talent in the center of the park and it will be interesting to see how they adapt him to the first-team squad. Froholt won’t want to sit on the bench at the north London club. He needs to play regularly at this stage of his career. Perhaps a move to Manchester United would suit him better now.
It is highly unlikely that any club would pay €85 million for the player. Porto will need to make reasonable demands to make the transfer happen.
Meanwhile, Tottenham are also interested in signing Fromholt. They will be hoping Thomas Frank will play a key role in convincing the Danish midfielder to join the club.
