Manchester United have submitted a formal enquiry for Club Brugge full-back Joaquin Seys, with Arsenal and Aston Villa also chasing the 21-year-old this summer.
That’s according to The Sun, which reports that all three Premier League clubs have made contact over Seys’ availability following extensive scouting. Newcastle United are also interested in the Belgian defender but currently trail their English rivals in the race for his signature.
Why United are moving for SeysClub Brugge are said to be in no rush to sell, with Seys still having three years left on his contract at the Belgian club. Brugge are expected to demand €35 million (£30 million) before sanctioning any departure, per CaughtOffside.
United reportedly view left-back as a position requiring a clear long-term solution, and the reported valuation is unlikely to deter them. It remains to be seen whether the club will pursue a deal in the current window or prioritise other business.
Seys has developed into one of Club Brugge’s most promising young players. He has attracted attention for his athleticism, defensive intelligence and ability to contribute in possession, while his ability to operate from the left has drawn interest from clubs in England and elsewhere in Europe.
Spence also offered as an alternativeAs United evaluate their options across the backline, alternative targets are also being presented. Tottenham’s Djed Spence has been offered to United, with the versatile full-back seeking guaranteed playing time.
The enquiry for Seys reflects United’s reported search for a long-term solution at left-back, while Club Brugge’s valuation and the interest from Arsenal, Aston Villa and Newcastle could shape the next steps in the pursuit.
