Manchester United are firmly in the mix for Eintracht Frankfurt's breakout star Nathaniel Brown, with the German club privately admitting that a summer exit is certain.
The 22-year-old left-back has burst onto the European scene after making an impressive full debut for Germany in the 2-1 win over Ghana. That performance received praise from Joshua Kimmich.
Frankfurt's sporting director Markus Kroesch also declared that Brown was already one of the best fullbacks in Europe. For image.
Manchester United have been keeping an eye on him all season, and the timing couldn't be better. With the club looking for a new long-term left-back, Brown is an attractive option.
€65-70m transfer incoming
Markus Kroes are demanding between €65-70m for the Germany international this summer. This will make him the most expensive left-back in the world.
The possibility of transfer is increasing. Bild has learned that no one in Frankfurt thinks Brown will stay this summer. There is acceptance that he is 'very good'.
There are many world-class clubs including Barcelona, Real Madrid, Arsenal, Manchester City and Liverpool to name a few. Manchester United is also in the mix.
A report in November Added him to the list of fans. It was revived last month at a cost of €60 million It has been described as a perfect fit for Eintracht Frankfurt.
No concrete talks have taken place yet. The Browns will decide their future after the season. He's focusing less on money and more on who offers him the best prospects. He wants playing time.
manchester united perspective
Manchester United can certainly give the 22-year-old regular playing time. They have been in need of a left-back for some time and this will be the position they will target this summer.
€60 million is a big price, but Brown could play in this role for a decade or more. He is a long-term prospect and is already proving his worth at this point.
Frankfurt are certainly preparing for his departure, and are rubbing their hands as Brown continues to shine on the international stage this time around.
