Overview
- Multiple reports say United scouts have tracked Affengruber through several Elche matches and filed highly positive assessments.
- Ruben Amorim is reported to view the 24-year-old Austrian as a future partner for Leny Yoro in his back-three setup.
- Elche value the centre-back at around £26m (€30m), with a contract running to 2027 and an option for an additional year.
- Juventus, Atlético Madrid and Sevilla are also credited with interest, increasing potential competition for a summer move.
- Affengruber joined Elche from Sturm Graz in 2024, has been an ever-present starter this season, and was hailed by the club’s sporting director as a “silent leader.”
