The agent of Benfica defender Victor Lindelof claims that his client has "concrete interest from some of the biggest clubs in Europe".

The agent of Benfica defender Victor Lindelof has said that his client has "concrete interest from some of the biggest clubs in Europe".

Manchester United have been strongly linked with a move for the 22-year-old, while Paris Saint-Germain have also been credited with an interest in a player that has been personally recommended by Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

Agent Hasan Cetinkaya stopped short of naming the clubs in question, but revealed that Lindelof was on the wishlist of a number of teams at the top of European football.

"I don't want to comment on various clubs but there is concrete interest from some of the biggest in Europe," Cetinkaya told Fotbollskanalen.

"'Vigge' really enjoys it at Benfica, at the same time, as I have said before, there is no smoke without fire when it comes to that many clubs that are interested in him, but Victor is focused on Benfica."

Man United have reportedly been told that it will cost 'in excess of £25m' to land Lindelof in the January transfer window.
