Man United are set to close in on a deal to sign highly
rated Atletico Madrid midfielder Koke according to the Daily Star.
The 21 year old will apparently be allowed to leave the
Vicente Calderon as boss Diego Simeone is seemingly set to welcome in Chelsea’s
Kevin de Bruyne to act as his replacement.
The Spanish international playmaker is having an
excellent season and was pivotal during the recent successes achieved by Atletico,
including the winning of both the Europa League and Copa del Rey in recent
seasons.
This term Atletico Madrid have continued their rise to
prominence and sit level on points with Barcelona in La Liga with Koke being a
key part of that success with the locally born midfielder currently the joint
leading assist maker in the Spanish top tier.
United manger David Moyes is keen to boost his side with
the signing of a creative midfielder and is ready to trigger Koke’s £16m
release clause.
Such a move could perhaps lead to speculation over the
future of Shinji Kagawa at Old Trafford.
