Manchester United want to secure £30million transfer of Carlos Soler before summer window

Manchester United have reportedly opened talks with Valencia to sign Carlos Soler.

The Red Devils want to complete the transfer before the summer window opens as they aim to get their business done as soon as possible.

Soler has caught the eye of several big clubs as he has shown for the Spanish Under-21’s and begun featuring regularly for Valencia.

The Daily Mail claim talks have already begun between the two clubs for a player with a £75million buy-out clause.

But, Valencia will not hold potential buyers to that figure, due to financial reasons and United are confident they can snap up Soler for as little as £30m.

Jose Mourinho has asked for the signing of the 20-year-old who he sees as the final addition to his midfield.

Soler would complete United’s midfield three alongside Paul Pogba and Nemanja Matic.

United are preparing for the possibility of Ander Herrera and Marouane Fellaini leaving in the near future and will be short in the summer as Michael Carrick looks set to call time on his career.

Soler has played every game this season for Valencia after breaking into the starting eleven midway through last year’s campaign.

Mourinho will want Soler to take charge in midfield, but he can play on the right wing and has been deployed there for most of the current season.

United’s recent summer signings have hit the ground running with Romelu Lukaku and Matic going straight into a rejuvenated side.

Despite suffering the first defeat of the season against Huddersfield, United remain second in the table and five points off Manchester City.
