Manchester United and Manchester City are interested in signing Nahiel Morina of Atletico Madrid.
The 27-year-old has linked his move away from the Spanish club, and according to Fichaje, he cost around 25 million euros. Both Premier League clubs are interested in players, and it is still unclear where he will end.
Manchester United already has Diogo Dalot and Noussair Mazraoui at their disposal. Signing another right might not make much sense. Manchester City, on the other hand, can reliably use more depth and quality in that area of the pitch. Both teams have the finances to complete the transaction, but it is still unclear where South America will end.
Morina had been linked to Newcastle a few months ago. Liverpool also kept tabs on the defenders.
Nahuel Molina to the Premier League?
He is at the peak of his career, and this may be the right time for him to take on new challenges and join a larger club. Manchester City or Manchester United can help him fight for the trophy. The transition to the Premier League is also exciting. He tries to test himself against some of the top players in England.
The reported asking price seems very reasonable for players of his quality and experience. He could easily justify his investment. He aims to make an immediate impact in the Premier League as the movement progresses.
Morina can prefer Man City
Manchester City will probably be a more attractive destination. They have a better team, a world-class manager, and a platform to fight for the trophy instantly. Meanwhile, Manchester United are experiencing a period of reconstruction, and they have a more uncertain future than they do.
Manchester United have not been able to fight for the trophy lately, and their managers are facing an uncertain future at the club. The defender may not be keen to join a club that experiences chaos right now.
