Manchester United Ready to Get $69.5million Star Signing Done

Manchester United are seriously looking to reinforce their back line in the winter transfer window and are linked with numerous quality defenders.
According to ESPN, Jose Mourinho is lining up a January move to get Jose Gimenez signing done for the Red Devils.
The Atletico Madrid defender played a key role in the team’s Champions League campaign last season but he has mainly warmed the bench this season and needs to leave the Spanish side for regular football.
The 21-year-old Uruguayan international has only featured in 4 games for the La Liga club this season under the management of Argentine boss Diego Simeone.
United are currently 6th in the league and have conceded 15 goals already in just 13 fixtures.
With the likes of Smalling and summer signing Bailly out injured, they badly need to strengthen the defense.
Gimenez is not going to come cheap. As per the provided ESPN link, Atletico will demand around €40m-€50m. Jose has a release clause of £56million ($69.5million) in his contract (Mirror).
Earlier today, we reported a rumor from Portugal (via O Jogo) that the Red Devils are in talks to sign $32million rated Swedish center half Victor Lindelof from Benfica.
