Manchester United are on the verge of signing 27-year-old Albanian goalkeeper Thomas Strakosha. The former Lazio goalkeeper is currently out of contract after almost ten years with Lazio in the Italian top flight, after joining the club’s academy in 2012.
The Albanian free agent went on to make 164 appearances in the league for the Italian giants, carving out a reputation for himself as one of the most respected shot-stoppers in the country.
According to a report by 90Mius
the Red Devils are close to finalizing a deal to bring Strakosha to Old Trafford, with the player keen on making a switch to the Premier League amidst interest from league rivals Chelsea and newly-promoted Fulham.
Manchester United have been linked with a move for a goalkeeper all summer, with names like Watford’s Daniel Bachmann and Newcastle’s Karl Darlow reported as genuine targets for the club and manager Erik ten Hag. Links for these two seem to have gone cold over the last few weeks, which could pave a path for Strakosha to join United’s goalkeeping union.
