AS Roma is looking for a new center-back for the second part of the season and one of the names that is sounding louder to arrive in the winter transfer market is that of Victor Lindelöf, according to several media in Italy.
The Swedish center-back is going through a difficult time at Manchester United. He lost the starting title with the arrival of Raphael Varane in the summer transfer market and is only playing due to the injury of the Frenchman, a situation that he does not like due to the fact that he comes from signing last season at a high level.
His intention is to leave to have continuity, whether in the winter or summer transfer market, taking into account that Manchester United is looking to sign a young central defender to have a more powerful rotation. If the arrival of a new defender is confirmed, the name that sounds the most is Wesley Fofana, the Swede will ask to leave as soon as possible.
On the other hand, the Red Devils would be willing to let him out if an important offer comes for him, considering that they cannot let him out if they do not have a plan B on the bench for the two starting centers (Varane and Maguire). Bailly offers no security to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
One of the main stakeholders in Lindelöf is Roma because José Mourinho has requested the signing of a central defender after the painful defeat in the Conference League, where it was shown that the Portuguese does not have a wardrobe capacity capable of fighting for the titles this season.
Lindelöf is a central defender with a high level and who would give him a quality leap behind the team from the Italian capital. The possibility of an assignment with an option to buy is handled.
