Premier League giants Manchester United have been offered a massive boost in their transfer pursuit for a £45million-rated star with the player’s Italian side agreeing to offload him.

Lazio set to part ways with United target

Serie A side Lazio have allegedly agreed to offload £45million Manchester United transfer target, Felipe Anderson.

According to a report by CalcioMercato, the Italian side have agreed that they are likely to permit Anderson to leave the club.

The report suggests that alongside Manchester United, the likes of Napoli, AC Milan, and Inter Milan are all keen on the Brazilian.

The Serie A side are apparently keen on bringing in money to permit Igli Tare and Simone Inzaghi to play an active role in signing the players they want at their side in the summer transfer window.

Manchester United keen on versatile attacker

Felipe Anderson is a talented and versatile 24-year-old player who can either be deployed in a wider position or a central position behind the forwards.

The links to Manchester United make a lot of sense with manager Jose Mourinho lacking depth in quality on the flanks.

The Red Devils tactician has often had to make do with Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial to play in the position instead as unconventional wide men.
