Four Premier League clubs have reportedly been in touch with Victor Lindelof's representatives to discuss a potential move for the experienced Manchester United centre-back at the end of the campaign.
Lindelof's existing deal with the Red Devils is due to expire at the end of June, and he is highly unlikely to sign an extension, so the Sweden international's long association with the club is coming to a close.
The 30-year-old has made 18 appearances for Man United during the 2024-25 campaign, including 11 outings in the Premier League, and he has been important of late amid the team's defensive problems.
Lindelof arrived at Old Trafford from Benfica in 2017 with a high reputation, and he has featured on 277 occasions for the Red Devils in all competitions, but he has largely struggled to show his make his mark.
According to CaughtOffside, the Swede is not short of interest, with Fulham, Everton, West Ham United and Wolverhampton Wanderers all making contact with his representatives to discuss remaining in the Premier League.

Lindelof 'contacted by four Premier League clubs'
The report claims that Juventus, Inter Milan and Benfica are also keeping a close eye on the situation, but Lindelof is believed to be keen to remain in England, as his family are settled in the country.
Lindelof has made 189 appearances in the Premier League during his time at Old Trafford, while he has also featured 47 times in the Champions League and Europa League for the 20-time English champions.
Earlier this year, Lindelof suggested that he would be open to returning to Benfica this summer, having enjoyed a strong spell with the Portuguese team before making the move to Man United.
"Benfica is a club that means a lot to me. They shaped me into the player I am today. I don't know what will happen and what my decision will be. But it is a club that I like," Lindelof told reporters while on international duty with Sweden.
"I don't just have myself to think about anymore. It's a decision we have to make as a family. Of course, I always try to think about football and what's best for me. But it also goes hand in hand. What I think will be good is usually good for the family.
"I'm making the decision with my wife too. Right now, we're keeping our thoughts within the family. I feel that I still have a high level in me. The idea is that I want to play at the highest level."

Are Man United right to let Lindelof leave?
Lindelof was an incredibly highly-rated defender during his time at Benfica, with a whole host of clubs interested in him before Man United secured his signature, but he has never quite managed to realise his potential at Old Trafford.
The Swede is only 30, so he has plenty of football left in him, but the decision is right for him to leave Man United at the end of the season, and a move to another Premier League club makes a lot of sense considering his familiarity with football at that level.
