Senne Lammens has been at the centre of a transfer saga this summer as the transfer window nears its closure.
The 23-year-old has been targeted by Manchester United for a number of weeks as the Red Devils look to sign a ‘keeper.
Furthermore, the Belgian has previously given his green light to a move to Old Trafford, as exclusively revealed by centredevils earlier in the window.
Initially, United made a first bid and it did look like this bid would be accepted.
However, Royal Antwerp increased the price Manchester United would have to pay for the ‘keeper.
But, the Red Devils would go onto make an official improved bid this morning following Lammens’ rejection of Galatasaray.
Furthermore, with only one day of this year’s summer transfer window remaining, United have decided to prioritise their efforts on signing the 23-year-old shot-stopper.
Now, an update has emerged revealing Antwerp’s price for Lammens.
According to Fabrizio Romano, speaking on his YouTube channel, Royal Antwerp are now asking for a guaranteed £21.62 million.
Originally, United started with a bid of £14.7 million with £1.7 – £2.6 million on top.
Therefore, if United pay Antwerp’s price, they will be paying more to the club for Lammens.
With this news revealed, the Red Devils now arguably face a major choice.
If they decide to pay the increased settlement, it could be a race against time to bring Senne Lammens to Old Trafford.
But, if Ruben Amorim’s side decide not to pursue this increase, they may well turn to other options such as Emiliano Martinez.
Either way, United are arguably in a race against time to bring a ‘keeper to the club before tomorrow’s deadline.
Now, attention may turn to the club to see what their next steps are and to see what choice they make.
