Several Premier League clubs, including Liverpool and Tottenham, are impressed with the Bundesliga performances of Japanese star Ko Itakura. Manchester United is emerging as a potential destination, ready to pay around 13 million euros in the summer, considering his versatility and distribution skills.
Itakura can play in central defense and as a defensive midfielder, making him a valuable addition to strengthen Manchester United’s defense. With a reported asking price considered a bargain for his quality and experience, United has the financial means to secure his signature.
This move could be crucial, especially if Harry Maguire departs from Old Trafford, as the young Japanese star presents a suitable replacement. Itakura’s transition to the Premier League is anticipated during the January transfer window, and it remains to be seen which club he will join.
