Ahead of the commencement of the summer transfer window, Man Utd have been handed the asking price for Cristian Romero from AS Atalanta.

The report revealed that the Seria A club would only consider a move for Romero if the interested club are ready to churn out £52 million as the transfer price.

According to the reports, the Red Devils had supposedly been hopeful of persuading the Serie A club to cash in on the centre-back for a bid of around £39m.

Romero played on loan with Atalanta in the last campaign and they have the option to purchase the Argentina international outright for £21.5m.

According to Tuttosport, Atalanta intend to trigger that right-to-buy clause and keep Romero at the Gewiss Stadium unless a big bid is tabled.

It is assumed that Man United have yet made an initial approach for the 23-year-old, who earned his first senior international cap in last week’s 1-1 draw with Chile.

We will have to wait for till the commencement of the summer transfer market to the see if the Red Devils will submit any bid for him.
