Thursday, June 6, 2024 –Manchester United made a late attempt to sign Nigerian-born defender Tosin Adarabioyo but talks over a move to Chelsea were already too far advanced for him to change his mind.
The 26-year-old defender is expected to be
confirmed as the first signing of Enzo Maresca's era over the next 48
hours.
He underwent medicals on Tuesday and
agreed his deal with Chelsea pending the official expiry of his contract
with Fulham.
United had expressed their interest
in the free agent centre back months ago but it was Newcastle
United who made the early running for his signature and came close to
agreement.
Chelsea then made an offer last month
before returning with an improved contract last weekend after Maresca became
their new manager.
