In September, Tutto Juve reported that United had expressed interest in signing Oscar Zambrano, a midfielder for LDU Quito.It was reported that the 19-year-old Ecuadorian Zambrano had wowed Barcelona, Juventus, and United and that they were all interested in signing him.
Luton might potentially derail such ambitions, though.
According to a recent story in The Sun, representatives from Luton have travelled to South America in an effort to close a deal for Zambrano.
Given the elite clubs vying for Zambrano, Luton’s pursuit of him is somewhat ambitious, but it is believed that the player has now been approached about a move to Kenilworth Road.
Zambrano could cost around £5.35million and Luton will hope to land a huge coup by signing the United target.
Manchester United could have another Moises Caicedo moment.
This will leave United fans reminded of the now-infamous pursuit of Moises Caicedo.
Reports late in 2020 suggested that United were closing in on a £4.5million deal to bring Caicedo to Old Trafford.
Caicedo – another Ecuadorian midfielder – had been showing promise with Independiente del Valle in his native Ecuador, just like Zambrano with LDU Quito.
United didn’t finalise the move though and Brighton were able to swoop in, turning Caicedo into a huge £115million sale to Chelsea.
United are seemingly still keeping an eye on the Ecuadorian market in the hope of finding another Caicedo-like opportunity, but Luton may be one step ahead with their Zambrano move.
