Reportedly, Premier League clubs such as Manchester United, Aston Villa, and West Ham United are all vying for FC Porto midfielder Alan Varela. The 22-year-old has made quite an impression since joining Porto and has become a sought-after prospect. With a reported £60 million release clause, Varela has also caught the eye of Liverpool.
Manchester United is in need of a talented defensive midfielder, especially with the decline of Casemiro. The potential signing of Varela could be a solution to their midfield woes. Aston Villa, potentially needing to replace Douglas Luiz, and West Ham United, seeking an upgrade on Tomas Soucek, are also eyeing Varela as a quality acquisition.
Varela’s potential move to the Premier League presents an opportunity for him to further develop and thrive. With Liverpool also in need of a defensive midfielder, the competition for Varela’s signature is heating up as the season comes to a close.
