Ex-Man Utd star 'pushes' current team to sign player released by Ruben Amorim
Victor Lindelof was released by Manchester United at the end of the 2024-25 season and will now be looking for his next club - with Fiorentina a possible option as ex-team-mate David de Gea pushes for the move Former Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea is attempting to bring Victor Lindelof to Serie A side Fiorentina following his release from Old Trafford, reports claim. Defender Lindelof was released by United boss Ruben Amorim at the end of last season following eight seasons with the club. He still managed 25 appearances in all competitions for the Red Devils last season but only started six times in the Premier League, signalling the end of his time in Manchester. Lindelof proved to be a valuable member of the United squad during his spell as he made 284 appearances and won two trophies. The 30-year-old will now be looking ahead to his next chapter after becoming a free agent and Fiorentina have become an option for him. According to Corriere dello Sport, Lindelof's former United team-mate is "pushing" to bring the centre-back to the Viola. The pair spent six years together at United and De Gea's involvement in the deal comes after he himself revitalised his career after joining the club - playing 42 times for the team and making some fabulous saves. The report says Fiorentina are ready to offer Lindelof a contract at the club, knowing he can be snapped up for free. It adds that the club feel the Sweden star would offer "valuable experience" as well as back-up following the exits of Matias Moreno and Nicolas Valentini. Should Lindelof join the club, he will be playing in the UEFA Conference League after the club finished sixth in Serie A last season. Along with De Gea, Lindelof would also be playing alongside former Manchester City forward Edin Dzeko and ex-Everton star Moises Kean. Lindelof was one of three senior players who were released by Manchester United at the end of the campaign, including Christian Eriksen and Jonny Evans.

While Evans leaves as the most decorated amongst the three, having won three Premier League titles and numerous other major honours.

Man Utd transfer news LIVE: Cherki ‘makes decision' over future, swap planned for Osimhen, Betis in talks for Antony
Lindelof to Barcelona? Victor Lindelof is eyeing a return to Benfica when his Manchester United contract expires this summer. The Swedish defender spent five years on the books of the Portuguese club before earning a £31 million move to Old Trafford in summer 2017. Lindelof is endured an injury ravaged season and has yet to start a Premier League game for the Red Devils. And his campaign took a turn for the worse on Sunday when he missed his penalty as holders United crashed out of the FA Cup to Fulham in a shoot-out. West Ham were one of the clubs who showed an interest in taking him on loan in January – but he looks likely to move as a free agent in the summer. United have not held discussions with Lindelof - who has spent 79 days out injured this season - over an extension to his current deal.
