Manchester United ready to sign £27m midfielder after meeting with his agent

Manchester United are ready to sign Lorenzo Pellegrini after the club met with the Roma midfielder’s agent in London. Jose Mourinho is desperate to bolster his squad in January transfer window as he can lose both Ander Herrera and Juan Mata if they fail to agree new contracts. According to Corriere dello Sport, United have taken a major step to give Mourinho a new midfielder by submitting a ‘huge offer’ to Pellegrini and offering more than double of his current £35,000-a-week basic salary. Pellegrini has established himself as a key part of Roma’s midfield and has two goals and five assists in 13 appearances this season.
