Man United Target Lyon’s Afonso Moreira in Left‑Wing Search

Lyon aim to protect his value with a new deal that could drive the price up.

Overview

  • Multiple outlets citing Portuguese newspaper A Bola report Manchester United have put Afonso Moreira on their summer shortlist to address a lack of natural options on the left wing, with no formal bid disclosed.
  • Moreira, 21, has produced eight goals and double‑digit assists in 35 games for Lyon after stepping into the lineup following Malick Fofana’s injury.
  • The winger is contracted to Lyon until 2029, and Goal reports the club plans to add a further year to strengthen their position before any talks.
  • His market value is estimated near €10 million, yet reporting says Lyon would seek a much higher fee, and Sporting CP stand to receive 20% of any sale because of a sell‑on clause.
  • Goal and Yahoo add that clubs in Serie A and the Bundesliga are also tracking him, setting up a competitive race as United plan summer reinforcements.
