United ‘interested’ in signing €42 million forward, but there is a catch

Manchester United are reportedly ‘interested’ in signing Juventus forward Dejan Kulusevski in the summer.

Kulusevski moved to Juve from Atalanta after completing a £31.5 million move in January 2020 but was immediately loaned to Parma.

The 20-year-old has struggled at the Serie A club, scoring just three goals in 26 appearances in all competitions.

But several European clubs still see potential in the Swedish international, who has already made 11 appearances for his nation.

According to Calciomercato journalist Daniele Longo, United are interested in bringing Kulusevski to Old Trafford next season.

Kulusevski, as per Transfermarkt, is valued at around €42m. He is the exact kind of talent that United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer wants to sign.

The Norwegian has shown a desire to bring in youngsters who he can nurture into stars of the future. Kulusevski certainly fits the bill in that regard.

His ability to play on the right flank makes him appealing to United as they have struggled to find the right blend on that side of the pitch over the past couple of seasons.

Kulusevski could be a smart buy for United, but the deal depends on Juventus’ willingness to sell the player.
