Manchester United centre-back Victor Lindelof is reportedly set to leave Old Trafford on a free transfer at the end of June.
The Sweden international made the move to the Red Devils from Benfica in June 2017, and he has represented the 20-time English champions on 283 occasions in all competitions, scoring four goals and registering seven assists in the process.
Lindelof has featured on 24 occasions for Man United this season, including 15 outings in the Premier League, with the 30-year-old proving to be an important player in the second half of the campaign due to the team's injury issues.
However, the defender only has a contract at Old Trafford until June 30, and according to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, both parties have agreed to go their separate ways.
The report claims that Man United held a meeting with Lindelof's representatives last week, and it was decided that the Swede should depart, with clubs from Italy and Spain believed to be keen on his services.

Lindelof 'to leave Man United on a free transfer'
Lindelof has featured in each of Man United's last seven Premier League matches, but he was an unused substitute in the final of the Europa League against Tottenham Hotspur on Wednesday night.
The Red Devils will conclude their league season at home to Aston Villa on Sunday afternoon, and it remains to be seen whether Lindelof is given the chance to say goodbye to the club's supporters.
There is also believed to be Premier League interest in the centre-back, with Fulham, Everton, West Ham United and Wolverhampton Wanderers all thought to be keen on his services.
Lindelof is believed to be keen to remain in England, with his family settled in the country, but he is also thought to be open to discussing a move to Spain or Italy at this stage of his career.

Which other Man United players are out of contract on June 30?
Christian Eriksen, Jonny Evans and Tom Heaton also only have deals with the Red Devils until the end of next month.
Evans has struggled with injury problems during the 2024-25 campaign, and it is understood that the experienced centre-back will hang up his boots this summer, potentially remaining with Man United as a coach.
Heaton will allegedly be offered a 12-month extension to continue as Man United's number three goalkeeper, but Eriksen is set to follow Lindelof in leaving the 20-time English champions at the end of next month.
Eriksen has made 34 appearances for the Red Devils during the 2024-25 campaign, scoring four goals and registering five assists in the process, but he has struggled for action in the second half of the campaign.
