Barca, Villarreal Target Tosin Kehinde Gives Man Utd TWO Conditions Before Signing New Two-Year Deal

Published: June 09, 2018

Nigerian-born midfielder Tosin Kehinde is leaning towards an exit from Manchester United in the summer, six years after he joined the Premier League powerhouse.

The 19-year-old has been offered a fresh two-year contract to extend his stay at Old Trafford but the stumbling block is that he is unhappy over the length of the deal they gave him and there are no guarantees that he'll be integrated into the first team next season.

''Tosin's priority is to remain at Manchester United, but there are two things. He needs assurances that he is going to play and will be part of the first team, he doesn't want to sign the contract and sit on the bench,'' a top source told allnigeriasoccer.com.

''The longevity of the contract is also part of the reason he hasn't signed, he was offered a two-year deal.

''Most Premier League clubs in England are not ready to sign you if you have not made your debut for the first team, if he remains in England we are talking of training compensation of close to 0.5 million pounds while if he moves abroad the figure will be around £0.2 million.''

He added : ''Tosin has the talent but he has to be in the right environment, he is as talented as Alex Iwobi and Kelechi Iheanacho. Talks are still ongoing.

''Close to thirty clubs have contacted us. Manchester United are one of the biggest clubs in the world but he is leaning towards Spain.''

Barcelona, Villarreal, Atlético de Madrid, Swedish club AIK Fotboll plus teams in the Netherlands and Belgium have made enquiries over the possibility of signing Tosin Kehinde before the close of the summer transfer window.
