August 11 – According to Spanish transfer journalist Moreto, former Atlético Madrid defender Elmosho was previously recommended to Premier League club Manchester United, but the Red Devils are still focused on the negotiations for De Ligt and Mazraoui and haven’t responded to the recommendation.
Elmosho was previously recommended to Serie A teams AC Milan, Juventus, Napoli and Bologna, but was rejected by multiple clubs due to salary and age reasons. Manchester United’s 19-year-old new signing Yoro was injured in the pre-season and will be out for three months. Manchester United has almost completed the transfers of De Ligt and Mazraoui.
It is reported that Elmosho wants a contract of at least three years and an average annual salary of £5.1 million, which could become a major obstacle to finding a new home.
Real Madrid are currently also looking for a new center-back, as injuries to the team’s defense are serious. However, there is no news suggesting that Elmosho could join their cross-town rivals after leaving Atlético.
29-year-old Elmosho, a graduate of Real Madrid’s youth system, can play multiple positions, including left center-back and left-back. He has played for Valladolid, Espanyol and Atlético Madrid, leaving Atlético this summer as a free agent. He has made 174 appearances for Atlético, scoring 10 goals. His current market value is €25 million.
