Manchester United are going to need to overhaul their back line in the summer 2024 transfer window, and INEOS are already looking at priority targets and dream options like Jarrad Branthwaite of Everton and Gleison Bremer of Juventus.
In the meantime, Manchester United will need to clear space and generate funds to acquire those big-name center back transfers by selling off their current unwanted central defenders for appropriate fees.
Raphael Varane is a former four-time Champions League winner at Real Madrid and a World Cup winner for France, so he will fetch the most amount of money. Harry Maguire could make a pretty penny, too, despite his tanked reputation and own expensive wages.
But Manchester United could also be prepared to make a tidy sum off Victor Lindelof, a decent role player at center back who also doesn’t appear to have a future in a United squad that needs to go younger.
According to a report from Turkish outlet A Spor, Super Lig giants Galatasaray actually view Victor Lindelof as their top priority defensive transfer target in the summer 2024 window. They are said to be determined on acquiring him from Manchester United.
Galatasaray are one of the big clubs in Turkey known for spending a sizeable amount on veteran players, and Lindelof would be one of the best center backs in the Turkish top flight.
Manchester United could legitimately get 15-20 million euros for the 29-year-old, which is money they could then reinvest into acquiring one of their “reach” targets at center back like Branthwaite or Bayer Leverkusen’s Edmond Tapsoba.
