🚨 CONFIRMED: Manchester United Join Race for Racing Santander Left-Back Jorge Salinas
Manchester United have reportedly joined the race to sign Racing Santander left-back Jorge Salinas, with the Spanish youngster being viewed as a more affordable alternative to Newcastle United target Lewis Hall. 👀🔴
Salinas, a Spain Under-19 international, is a product of Racing Santander’s academy and played an important role in the club’s promotion campaign last season, making 34 appearances.
The highly rated left-back has also attracted interest from several major European clubs, including Barcelona, Atlético Madrid, Newcastle United and Porto.
However, Barcelona are reportedly unwilling to meet Racing Santander’s asking price, potentially opening the door for Manchester United and other interested clubs to make their move.
Salinas is represented by super-agent Jorge Mendes and has a €16 million release clause in his contract. The clause was reportedly increased from €8 million after June 30 but is still considered affordable for several Premier League clubs.
Racing Santander are said to be waiting for an interested club to trigger the release clause.
Manchester United are continuing to assess their options at left-back, and Salinas could emerge as a cheaper alternative if a move for Lewis Hall proves difficult.
The question now is whether United will activate the €16 million clause—or continue pursuing their primary target.
Would Jorge Salinas be a smart signing for Manchester United, or should the club focus on Lewis Hall? 🤔🔴
