Victor Lindelof to join Manchester United after deal agreed with Benfica
The deal for the Swedish centre back is still subject to a medical examination, international clearance and personal terms
Manchester United have reached an agreement to sign Swedish international centre-back Victor Lindelof from Benfica for €35 million (HK$305.39m).
The deal is still subject to a medical examination, international clearance and personal terms, United said in a statement.
“A further announcement will be made once the transfer is complete,” the statement added.
The Portuguese club later confirmed the deal includes a €10m bonus.
Lindelof, 22, joined Benfica from home-town club Vasteras SK in 2012 and has won three Portuguese league titles and two Portuguese Cups during his time in Lisbon.
He is in line to become the second centre-back signed by United manager Jose Mourinho following last year’s £30m (HK$298.1m) capture of Ivory Coast international Eric Bailly from Villarreal.
