Manchester United will be interested in signing Fiorentina defender Pietro Comuzzo at the end of the season, and they will face competition between Arsenal and Chelsea.
According to a report via TMW, Manchester United are expected to scout the 20-year-old central defender extensively and make the move for him in the summer. It remains to be seen whether they can convince the Italian club to sell their valuable prospects.
Comuzzo is highly regarded in Italian football and he has a brighter future than he does. He has all the attributes to develop into a top-class defender with the right guidance. Manchester United need more quality and depth in their defensive units. The 20-year-old could be the ideal long-term alternative for Harry Maguire.
Manchester United have a proven track record in developing young players and has been able to help the Italians meet his incredible potential. The opportunity to join one of the world’s largest clubs is also extremely exciting for young people.
Arsenal and Chelsea enthusiastic about Pietro Comuzzo
Meanwhile, Arsenal has kept him tabs, but it will be interesting to see if they follow up with the official offer to sign the player. They need more depth in defensive units, especially those with persistent injuries issues with players like Gabriel Magalges.
The 20-year-old was a long-term investment for Arsenal and was able to help him realize his potential. Arsenal certainly has the financial resources to get the deal done, so it will be interesting to see if Manchester United can beat his signature.
Similarly, Chelsea is under surveillance by him, but it remains to be seen whether they have decided to make a move for him. The young defender is drawn to the idea of playing for all three clubs. They were one of the largest clubs in the world, and were able to provide him with a platform to compete at the highest level and fight for the trophies.
