According to the newspaper Marca, the Man Utd is willing to pay the termination clause Paul Torres to get his services for the next summer transfer market and reinforce his defense, one of the main demands of Erik Ten Hag for the beginning of his project.
The Red Devils finished a disappointing season in every sense, which concluded with qualification for the UEFA Europa League. And one of the main problems of the club has been the defense due to the low level of Harry Maguire and Raphael Varane throughout the campaign.
Pau Torres, Manchester United’s main target for next season
One of Erik Ten Hag’s requests is Pau Torres, an important player in Unai Emery’s Villarreal in recent seasons and a constant player in Luis Enrique MartÃnez’s calls for the Spanish team. He has formed a sensational partnership with Raúl Albiol and seems ready to make the leap in quality to a more important team. He is 25 years old and seems to be an ideal defender for a big team in Europe.
Manchester United has him as their main objective for their defense, despite the fact that names like Jurrien Timber and Lisandro MartÃnez have also been mentioned, taking into account that he fits perfectly into Erik Ten Hag’s game system: Good height, speed, output ball and ability to dominate from the pass.
The Red Devils are not the only ones interested in acquiring the services of the Spanish central defender. Tottenham Hotspur, Arsenal and FC Barcelona also have it on the agenda, but they have not made approaches in recent months. Will Erik Ten Hag be the most needed signing for next season?
