Andrea Berta, Atletico Madrid‘s long-serving sporting director, could be on his way to Manchester United amid speculation about his future.
Berta, who joined Atletico in 2013, is expected to leave the Spanish club at the end of the season when his contract expires.
However, reports suggest his departure could happen sooner if the right opportunity arises.
Manchester United, who recently parted ways with their sporting director Dan Ashworth, are reportedly considering Berta as a potential replacement, according to Football Espana.
Berta is considered one of several candidates being evaluated by the Premier League giants as they look to restructure their football operations.
During his decade-long tenure at Atletico Madrid, Berta has been instrumental in the club’s success, including winning La Liga, Copa del Rey, and reaching two UEFA Champions League finals.
His ability to identify talents for Atletico has built his reputation as one of Europe’s top sporting directors.
