Overview
- Multiple reports on Monday, citing Bosnian outlet Reprezentacija.ba, said Manchester United have made contact to sign the 18-year-old winger.
- The suggested fee is about €30 million, with several outlets adding that United want the deal completed as soon as possible.
- Bayer Leverkusen announced in March that they had activated a buyback clause to bring Alajbegovic back this summer, meaning any buyer must now negotiate with Leverkusen.
- Chelsea, Manchester City and Aston Villa are also credited with interest, and some reports say Leverkusen could sell him immediately for a profit.
- Alajbegovic’s rise — 11 goals and three assists for Salzburg plus decisive penalties for Bosnia — has raised his value and could push the price higher if talks extend into the World Cup summer.
