Man Utd Chasing AZ Starlet Smit
21 Nov
Summary
- Man United leads pursuit for AZ Alkmaar's promising 19-year-old midfielder.
- Real Madrid and Barcelona are also interested in the talented player.
- A transfer fee around £25m (€28m) is anticipated for Smit.

Manchester United is making an early move to secure the signing of AZ Alkmaar's highly-rated midfielder, Kees Smit, ahead of the winter transfer window. Smit has garnered significant attention from top European clubs, including Real Madrid and Barcelona, who have been tracking his progress for months.
Despite interest from the Spanish giants, Manchester United has taken the initiative by being the only club to establish contact with the 19-year-old and his representatives. The Dutch club anticipates offers and is prepared to negotiate a sale for the right price next summer.
It is projected that a transfer agreement could be reached as early as January, with the ideal scenario being Smit remaining with AZ Alkmaar until the end of the current season. However, any interested club, including Barcelona, for whom Smit reportedly holds a preference, will need to act swiftly to secure his signature.
