Manchester United are reportedly considering a move for Napoli midfielder Eljif Elmas, as the club continues to evaluate options to strengthen its midfield. According to a report from the Italian outlet Tuttomercatoweb, Manchester United has shown interest in the North Macedonia international. It is also reported that Napoli has an option to make its deal for Elmas permanent for a sum of approximately £14 million, and further reports suggest that the Serie A club could then consider selling the midfielder for a higher price if a profitable offer is made.

Manchester United has been following 26-year-old North Macedonia international Eljif Elmas in recent weeks. The attacking midfielder is currently on loan from RB Leipzig and has become one of the figures most trusted by Antonio Conte. Other Premier League clubs are also reportedly interested and could utilize an exit fee from Leipzig of 16 million euros, which is a buyout option set with Napoli.
