A move to the Premier League for Manchester United target Pau Torres this summer is a 'serious possibility', according to Fabrizio Romano.

Torres, who was hailed as ‘sensational’ and 'superb' by his national team boss Luis Enrique, has been heavily linked with the Red Devils.

Reports in recent weeks have even suggested that United are leading the race to sign the centre-back, who is also of interest to Chelsea and Tottenham.

The Spaniard has a £55m release clause in his Villarreal contract, and it looks as if a move to England could certainly be on the cards over the coming months.

The Latest: Romano’s comments

Talking to GiveMeSport, Romano said that a move to the Premier League for Torres is a 'serious possibility' and added that United could soon 'jump' onto a transfer.

“I see Pau Torres playing in the Premier League next season because it’s a serious possibility, but at the moment, it’s still not something advanced between clubs. So I think they are considering together with Erik ten Hag the best option and then they will jump into it.”

The Verdict: Get it done…

Marca claimed last month that Erik ten Hag wants to bring a ball-playing centre-back to Old Trafford, and we believe Torres fits perfectly into those plans.

A marquee centre-back appears to be required ahead of Ten Hag’s first season, especially as United conceded more goals than relegated Burnley in 2021/22, and the young Spaniard completed 87.5 per cent of his passes in 12 Champions League games last season.

Torres could be the ideal addition and appears to be at the top of his game with a £45m Transfermarkt valuation - the 10th highest valued centre-back in the world. He also has plenty of experience at the highest level for club and country, so hopefully, United can get this one over the line.
