Overview
- Sky Sports reporter Florian Plettenberg says David Affengruber is planning a summer move after a strong season at Elche, with Manchester United among the clubs that have scouted him.
- Elche are expected to entertain offers around €20 million (£17 million) with the defender under contract until 2027, which places him in the final year of his deal for the coming season.
- United’s interest stems from gaps in central defence, with Harry Maguire aging despite a new deal and Lisandro Martínez and Matthijs de Ligt dealing with injuries this year.
- Affengruber, 25, is a left-sided centre-back noted for ball progression and comfort in tight spaces, and he logged 35 appearances this season with one goal and two assists.
- Reporting differs on the player’s stance, with Estadio Deportivo saying he prefers to remain in LaLiga even as other outlets report he is preparing to leave.
