At the moment, his most likely destination seems to be Manchester United, who are willing to make an offer of more than 60 million euros for the Spanish international. At the moment, no decision has been made, but the player is clear that his stage in the yellow submarine has come to an end.
Zagadou likes Emery
To reinforce the left profile of the axis of defense, Villarreal CF has set its sights on Dan-Axel Zagadou. The 22-year-old French defender is one of the great promises of European football, although in recent seasons his progression has been slowed down by a lack of opportunities.
This summer he will be released as a free agent and Villarreal CF has him on their agenda. Left-handed and with a great physical presence, he presents himself as a perfect option to replace Pau Torres. However, they will have to compete with other important European teams that will bid to get his signature.
