Victor Lindelof is reportedly on the verge of leaving Manchester United, with Italian giants Fiorentina showing interest. The 30-year-old Swedish defender is in the final year of his contract at Old Trafford and is unlikely to receive an extension.

Manchester United is keen to avoid losing Lindelof for free and is open to selling him after securing Leny Yoro and Matthijs de Ligt to bolster their defense. Lindelof, who joined United from Benfica in 2017, has made 259 appearances, contributing four goals and seven assists. He missed recent matches due to fitness issues, including the Community Shield against Manchester City and the Premier League opener against Fulham. Fiorentina has approached United to negotiate the conditions for a possible deal.

United is actively looking to improve its squad this summer and needs departures to facilitate new signings. Christian Eriksen, Jadon Sancho, and Aaron Wan-Bissaka are among those expected to leave, with PSG’s Manuel Ugarte targeted as a potential new signing for the midfield.
