Manchester United has successfully completed the signing of a player priced at forty million pounds, a champions league winner. The player is now in London and will face a medical test tomorrow.l 😳🙀
Manchester United has reportedly struck a deal to sign Miguel Gutierrez from Girona, according to Spanish media. The 22-year-old defender, who formerly played for Real Madrid, was part of the team that won the La Liga title and the Champions League two years ago.
Over the past two years, Gutierrez has shown significant growth, especially under Girona’s manager, Michel. His contract with Girona extends until 2027, with an annual salary of around £280,000.
Real Madrid has an option to repurchase Gutierrez for 8 million euros this summer, according to Cadena Ser. However, The Express reports that Real Madrid plans to exercise this buy-back clause only to sell him to Manchester United for £34 million.
Manchester United sees Gutierrez as a potential replacement for Luke Shaw. Last season, Gutierrez demonstrated his versatility by playing effectively in both defense and attack. He started 35 league matches, scored 2 goals, provided 7 assists, and contributed to 12 clean sheets, helping Girona secure a UEFA Champions League spot.
Luke Shaw, who has had a long tenure at Manchester United, has struggled with injuries throughout his career. Under Erik ten Hag last season, Shaw managed only 12 Premier League starts due to recurring muscle problems. As a result, Manchester United has been seeking a dependable replacement, and Gutierrez appears to fit the bill. However, joining Manchester United would mean Gutierrez would miss out on Champions League football next season.
