Premier League side Manchester United and Liverpool have been keeping tabs on Saul Niguez for the longest time and it looks like the midfielder could finally be moving out.

Atletico Madrid have maintained that they do not wish to sell the 26-year-old during the ongoing transfer window but according to Fabrizio Romano, Saul could actually be available for a dirt-cheap price.

The transfer expert has said in his recent update that Saul Niguez could be allowed to leave for around £34-38 million.

“Manchester United are among the clubs that have been in contact with Saul Niguez’s agent,” Romano told The United Stand, as quoted by talkSPORT.

“They have an interest in the player and consider him ‘one of the biggest opportunities on the market’.

“€40-45m will get a deal done, no bid yet.”

Saul Niguez to Man United or Liverpool?

Liverpool are eyeing the midfielder as the long-term replacement for Gini Wijnaldum meaning if he chooses to join them then the 26-year-old could be a guaranteed starter next season.

But, at Manchester United, Saul Niguez will get to play alongside players like Bruno Fernandes and Paul Pogba, something which any midfielder will want to do.

Both the Premier League sides are more than capable of meeting the quoted price so it will ultimately depend on which club the 26-year-old choose to join.

TransferMarkt currently values Saul at £36 million but the fact that he still has five years left on his current deal, Atletico Madrid are letting him leave for a really discounted price.
