Manchester United’s Target Aaron Anselmino Addresses £18.5m Transfer Speculation
Boca Juniors defender Aaron Anselmino has recently made it clear that he intends to stay at the club, dealing a blow to Manchester United. The 18-year-old player has only appeared in seven matches for the Argentine giants but has already caught the eye of several top European clubs. Reports surfaced over the weekend suggesting that United was prepared to activate an £18.5 million release clause in Anselmino’s contract.
Boca Juniors recognized the potential of the young defender and secured a new deal with him in 2023, which included the £18.5 million release clause. United is reportedly open to loaning Anselmino out before bringing him to Old Trafford. This could mean that Anselmino might continue playing for Boca even if United triggers his release clause.
Despite the speculation surrounding his future, Anselmino has expressed his desire to stay in Argentina. He stated, “My head is here at Boca. I want to win titles here and win titles with this shirt. Nothing has come from outside.” It seems that the teenager is focused on achieving success with his current club.
With Anselmino’s commitment to Boca Juniors, it remains to be seen if Manchester United will be able to secure his services. Fans will have to wait and see how this transfer saga unfolds.
