Axel Disasi, a defender for Monaco, would be very pleased to join Manchester United this summer, says renowned journalist Fabrizio Romano.
Disasi is one of the players who has been mentioned in connection with a prospective move to Old Trafford as United considers the idea of signing a new central defender during the transfer window.
Speaking to GIVEMESPORT, Romano stated that the 25-year-old is "really excited" to make the jump after it was reported earlier this month that the Frenchman wants to join United.
“They had contact on the player’s side, for sure, for Disasi. From what I’m told, the player would be really excited to make a move to Manchester United," He said
Kim Min-jae of Napoli has been a target for United in recent weeks, but Bayern Munich has joined the race to recruit him, putting them in second place.
The center-back's release clause will be activated by the German heavyweights next month if personal terms aren't finalized. This might cause United to turn its attention to Disasi.
As Romano noted, contact has already been established on the player's end, and if United loses out on Min-jae, Monaco may approach them about a trade. As for Kim Min Jae the defender is close to joining Bayern Munich and has accepted personal terms.
"The agreement between Bayern and Kim Min-jae is at final stages, details to be sorted on 5 year deal. He’s prepared to accept, not signed yet 🔴🇰🇷
The release clause will become valid on July 1 — unless other clubs send new bigger salary proposal next week, Kim will join Bayern," Romano wrote on his social media space.
Similar to Min-jae, Disasi is a defender. He is a solid center back with a good aerial presence, and he would be a valuable addition to the team to offer competition.
Despite not possessing Min-jae's ball-playing skills, the Frenchman does his duties at the center of the backline effectively. He would be a top acquisition for £43 million.
United could wait since Disasi's contract had no timeframe for the release clause. Once they had secured their top transferOk targets, they could concentrate on acquiring him.
