Man United Target Racing Santander Left-Back Jorge Salinas
The club views the 19-year-old's reported €16m release clause and versatility as a cost-effective, long-term option before the transfer window closes.
Overview
- Reports on Thursday say Manchester United have held discussions with Jorge Salinas’s representatives but have not yet made a formal bid or reached an agreement.
- Salinas is a 19-year-old left-back who impressed last season with strong attacking output and defensive displays, earning attention as one of Spain’s top young full-backs.
- Multiple outlets report a €16m (£13.7m) release clause and a contract running until 2029, which would make him financially accessible but still permit Racing Santander to demand a proper offer.
- Spanish clubs including Atlético Madrid and Barcelona have been linked with Salinas, creating potential competition that could complicate any move to Old Trafford.
- United’s interest reflects a wider pivot to younger, lower-cost targets after Lewis Hall proved unlikely to be available and could affect how the club allocates funds for other pursuits such as Carlos Baleba.
