Manchester United are eyeing Sevilla goalkeeper Bono.
Full name Yassine Bounou, Bono has been one of the best keepers in La Liga in this campaign and is in fierce competition with Real Madrid’s Thibaut Courtois for accolade of goalkeeper of the season.
United have been watching Bono for several months and are understood to have asked to be kept abreast of his situation at his club. Bono, 29, has two years to run on his deal with Sevilla from the end of this season and it will cost around £25million to trigger the release clause in that contract.
Sevilla’s directors are aware of interest in their keeper and they are keen to extend his deal for a further two years, In any new deal, they would insert a release clause of around £63m. Atletico Madrid are also keen to sign the keeper and there is also interest in him from a number of clubs in Serie A.
United first choice David de Gea recently entered the final 18 months of his contract at Old Trafford which may tempt United to cash in on him and bring in a new goalkeeper depending on whoever is appointed manager at the club during the summer, says the Mirror.
