Vanderson, the Monaco star, has admitted that it's 'great to hear' that clubs like Manchester United and Barcelona have taken an interest in him. The Brazilian defender joined Monaco from Gremio in 2021 and was initially intended to play as a right-back. However, he has been used in a right-flank position while playing for Monaco.
His performances for the club last season didn't go unnoticed and earned him a call-up to the Brazil squad. It also attracted the attention of some of Europe's top clubs, with Barcelona having reportedly watched him multiple times and Manchester United having had scouts at Monaco's games throughout the season. Vanderson is currently valued at around £40 million.
Erik ten Hag had been keen to sign a new right-back but with the need to strengthen other areas, he has decided to stick with Aaron Wan-Bissaka. Vanderson is aware of United's interest, and he says it's 'fantastic' to be linked with such a big club. He stated, "It's great to hear Barcelona and United 'love' you. It's fantastic to know your name is being mentioned by the big clubs. But, now I'm focused only on Monaco."
It's clear that Vanderson is staying focused on his current team and is not getting too distracted by the speculation surrounding him. Despite the interest from some of Europe's biggest clubs, it looks like he's happy to stay with Monaco for the time being.
