Manchester United have reportedly told Villarreal they are willing to part with €50m (£42m) for Pau Torres.
The defender is said to be one of the club’s top targets with eyes also on Ajax centre-half Jurrien Timber. Villarreal managed to keep hold of their player last year but Marca suggests that Torres now wants a move away, possibly to the Premier League.
United are frontrunners for the Spaniard, who helped Villarreal to victory over the Old Trafford outfit in last year’s Europa League final. Erik ten Hag is keen on Torres who is deemed to fit into his style of play.
