Amorim wants to sign Sporting star in January, ready to splash the cash | OneFootball

Maxi Araújo has been linked with Manchester United. The "red devils" officials, particularly Ruben Amorim, are keeping an eye on the performance of the 25-year-old player and are said to have sent scouts to several Sporting matches to closely monitor him.

The winger quickly established himself in the Sporting squad, accumulating minutes and gaining more and more prominence. His contract with Sporting runs until 2029, with a high release clause set at 80 million euros, a figure intended to protect the club from low-price departures.

According to 'TeamTalk', Man United's interest comes at a time when the club is considering strengthening the left side of the defense, a position where they have rotated different options without a definitive solution. The inclusion of Maxi Araújo on the target list is the responsibility of Ruben Amorim, the coach who brought him to Portugal.

However, there are no formal proposals or concrete outcomes yet, so the situation remains speculative. Sporting may have to consider any offers that arise, especially if they meet the clause value and the objectives of the SAD.

In the current sports season with the Sporting jersey, Maxi Araújo – valued at 22 million euros - has played 19 matches. Over the 1,424 minutes he was used by Rui Borges, the Uruguayan international scored three goals and provided one assist.
