Manchester United are reportedly nearing a deal to sign Atletico Madrid midfielder Saul Niguez, with the financial impact of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic forcing the La Liga side to cut their asking price.
Niguez has long been of interest to the Red Devils and Daily Star Sport understands that a deal for the Spaniard to replace him is closer than ever.
United are planning for life without Paul Pogba and view Niguez as an ideal replacement. Now, Spanish outlet Todo Fichajes are reporting that the deal is 'practically closed', with COVID-19 forcing Atletico to accept a bid lower than the player's release clause.
