Manchester United's pursuit of Saul Niguez has received a boost, according to Mirror transfer reports. The Atletico Madrid midfielder has a gentleman's agreement with the club that allows him to depart at the end of the current season.
Saul, one of Spain's greatest prospects, has gone a long way since his formative years.
He has established himself as a vital cog in Diego Simeone's Atletico Madrid machinery over the last few years. Despite the fact that Atletico Madrid won La Liga last season, Saul did not play a significant role.
The 26-year-old Spaniard is thought to be looking for a job outside of the capital. Saul is attracting a lot of attention, particularly from the Premier League. Barcelona's interest has waned, despite reports that a swap deal involving Saul and Griezmann was in the works.
United has now gained a boost in their pursuit of the Spanish superstar. According to reports, Saul has a gentleman's agreement with Atletico Madrid that allows him to leave the club if a good offer is made. Given that he still has five years left on his current contract, Atletico will expect a large fee. It's worth noting that United has yet to make a bid for him.
Manchester United will face a difficult battle in pursuing the Spanish midfielder. Liverpool, one of Liverpool's main rivals, is also interested. Given the terms of the agreement, Saul is certain to leave Atletico this summer. United would be wise to seize this opportunity.
