Overview
- Reports dated July 18 say Ben Nelson has told Leicester he wants to leave and Manchester United have emerged as an interested club.
- Leicester are reportedly holding to a roughly £10 million asking price and have rejected offers from Torino and Borussia Monchengladbach.
- Nelson is a 22-year-old, left-sided centre-back who made 27 appearances last season, has about 12 months left on his contract, and has England U20 caps.
- United see Nelson as a versatile, affordable option to provide cover at centre-back and left-back while Matthijs de Ligt recovers and Lisandro Martínez returns late.
- No formal bid has been confirmed and negotiations are expected to continue with competition from West Ham and continental clubs, with a fee of around £10 million shaping whether a deal completes.
