Man United in discussions with Roma for defender Ruben Amorim is willing to sell
AS Roma have made contact with Manchester United over a potential move to sign Tyrell Malacia.
According to Fabrizio Romano, Malacia‘s name cropped up during club-to-club discussions over Jadon Sancho – another player who is on the radar of the Italian giants.
It’s claimed that Malacia is keen on a move to the Serie A side, particularly given how his career at Old Trafford has played out so far.
Roma and Man United discuss Tyrell Malacia transfer
Discussions between Roma and Man United have been going on as they look to find a solution to Sancho’ situation at Old Trafford.
Keith Wyness told Football Insider that Sancho could be sold for just £15million, however the conversation swiftly moved on to Malacia who is ready for a new challenge too.
The left-back was signed under Erik ten Hag from Feyenoord in 2022, however he was sidelined for over a year due to a lengthy knee injury suffered in July 2023.
Amorim wants to sell players who have no future at the club to boost his transfer funds, but offloading Malacia has so far proven tricky.
Besiktas also interested in Tyrell Malacia
Thankfully for Man United, interest is building in the left-back with Besiktas also keen on a move to sign Malacia.
It means that his Red Devils nightmare is twice as likely to come to an end this summer.

In a Football Insider exclusive it was revealed Scottish champions Celtic had expressed an interest in Malacia with a loan move on the table, if Man United could subsidise his wages.
However, no move has yet materialised, with the Scottish domestic season already underway,
For Malacia, there’s a real need to get his career back on track following a really difficult couple of years.
It’s very clear that he doesn’t have a future under Ruben Amorim and so the opportunity to move on and rebuild his reputation elsewhere could be the perfect tonic.
