LOSC Lille is currently looking for a replacement for Romain Perraud on the left of his defence. Vincent Burlet is not considered the ideal profile by Bruno Genesio and could be lent. Several tracks are explored, including that of a Dutch international wishing to return to play time after two difficult seasons. Tyrrell Malacia, the left side of Manchester United, is particularly targeted by several European clubs, with the possibility of an imminent transfer before the closing of the transfer market.
The Elche CF seems to be the most advanced club in the negotiation for the acquisition of Malacia. The Spanish club started formal discussions with Manchester United for a loan from the 26-year-old player, and Elche’s leaders even met Malacia to present their project. The player himself says he is enthusiastic about joining the Liga, where he hopes to enjoy regular playing time, an argument of weight given his lack of current tenure in Manchester United.
Malacia has been going through a difficult period since her arrival in Manchester United in 2022, marked by a severe knee injury that has driven her away from the ground for a long time. Despite the Dutch champion title won with the PSV Eindhoven in the second part of last season, the Dutch club did not exercise its option of purchase. In addition to Lille and Elche, AS Roma, BeÅŸiktaÅŸ, FC Porto and Saudi clubs also expressed interest in the player. The race against the clock is launched to finalize this transfer before the end of the mercato, Elche being the favourite to welcome Malacia on loan, although the LOSC remains attentive to the situation.
