Man U close to shock Suzuki move

Manchester United are reportedly on the verge of securing the signing of Japanese goalkeeper Zion Suzuki for a fee of £5 million.

According to Sponichi, the 20-year-old shot-stopper from Urawa Red Diamonds has been on United’s radar since 2017, and they are now prepared to make him the most expensive signing in the history of the J-League. United have reportedly made a formal offer of £5 million for Suzuki, surpassing the £4.5m fee Celtic paid for Kyogo Furuhashi in 2021. Negotiations between United and Urawa are said to be progressing smoothly, suggesting an imminent transfer is on the cards.

Suzuki has represented Japan at various youth levels but is yet to earn his senior national team debut. At Urawa Red Diamonds, he has been limited to five starts in cup competitions, with veteran Shusaku Nishikawa preferred as the first-choice goalkeeper. Nonetheless, he has made a total of eight league appearances to date.
