Signing a defender is the top priority at Old Trafford this transfer season, which is why Manchester United have been linked with potential moves for a number of centre-backs. And, one of that lot is Diego Godin.
According to Metro via Marca, The Uruguayan is far from signing a contract extension at Atletico Madrid. The negotiations have hit a snag since United offered the 32-year-old a three-year contract last summer.
Godin is now free to negotiate a deal with other clubs, and Old Trafford could well be his next destination.
Atletico chief executive Miguel Angel Gil Marin promised the defender a new contract and a salary hike if he snubbed United last summer. However, the club now claim that they won't be able to offer a new deal to Godin until the summer of 2019 owing to their salary restrictions.
