Talks held: Manchester United discuss deal for versatile 18-year-old wide-man
"Manchester United have reportedly had some internal discussions over a potential transfer move for highly-rated young Sporting Lisbon wide-man Salvador Blopa. The 18-year-old Portugal youth international has become a first-team regular for Sporting this season, and has already showed his importance by scoring two goals in six appearances in all competitions. There's not much information to work with for the moment, but Man Utd have been linked with an interest in Blopa, as per a report from the Daily Mail."
"Blopa is a versatile young talent, capable of playing right-back or as a winger, and he's already making a real impression at senior level for Sporting. The Portuguese giants have often brought through top talents from their academy, most notably the legendary Cristiano Ronaldo and another all-time great in the form of Luis Figo. In more recent times, Paris Saint-Germain left-back Nuno Mendes is another to come through at Sporting, along with Geovany Quenda, who will be joining Chelsea next season."
Manchester United have shown interest in 18-year-old Salvador Blopa, a Portugal youth international and first-team regular for Sporting Lisbon. Blopa has scored two goals in six senior appearances this season and can play as a right-back or as a winger. Sporting's academy has produced players like Cristiano Ronaldo, Luis Figo and more recently Nuno Mendes and Geovany Quenda. Blopa could follow that pathway to a major transfer if interest becomes concrete. Ruben Amorim's 3-4-3 system at Sporting suggests Blopa could fit as a right-back or wing-back, matching potential United priorities for that role.
