Manchester United have been told they will need €40m if they wish to sign defender David Carmo from SC Braga this summer.

That’s according to A Bola, who say while the Portuguese side are willing to sell, they will only do so for a big sum.

Earlier this week, we covered a report from Portugal that stated Manchester United were looking at Carmo and had their scouts keeping an eye on his development this season.

That report made it clear they would likely need around €40m to get their man if they decided to make a move, and A Bola back that up.

They say the international scene is ‘directed towards’ Carmo, who is ‘filling the imagination’ of ‘famous and enigmatic suitors’.

Braga are open to selling him and several other stars as they believe this summer could provide a ‘good opportunity’ for them to make some money and fill the club’s coffers.

Carmo is seen as a potential ‘goldmine’, and the club are more than aware that he is a ‘diamond’ worth taking advantage of.

They have put a minimum €40m price tag on him, a figure they accept is a ‘huge sum’ but believe is adequate given the player’s growth and remaining potential.

Whether Manchester United are willing to pay such a price remains to be seen, but the figure Braga want has now been made extremely clear.
