Report: Man United Preparing €40 Million Summer Bid for Atlético’s Marcos Llorente

The widely cited claim originates from Spanish outlet Fichajes, with no confirmation from either club.

Overview

  • Multiple outlets say United are lining up a proposal worth about €40m (£35m) for Llorente, echoing the initial Fichajes report.
  • Coverage highlights Llorente’s ability to play in midfield and at right-back as a key factor in United’s interest.
  • Llorente’s deal runs to 2027, leaving roughly 18 months remaining and creating a plausible window for a summer decision.
  • Reports cite his strong recent form for Atlético, including a standout display in a 4-0 Copa del Rey win over Barcelona.
  • Skepticism persists over his age at 31 and suggestions of an INEOS reluctance to sign players over 30, and no formal bid or on-record comments have emerged.
