Manchester United explore buyback option for €60m midfield flop Manchester United have reportedly made a shock move to re-sign Adnan Januzaj from Real Sociedad. It’s a leftfield link from Spanish outlet Don Balon, especially when you consider the fact he managed just four goals and three assists in LaLiga last season.

The former Belgium international had an unsuccessful spell with United in 2013/14. He looked a promising talent when he burst on to the scene, but he was loaned out to Borussia Dortmund and Sunderland. He was eventually moved on by Louis van Gaal and went to Spain. Januzaj has been with the LaLiga side since 2017 and is under contract until 2022. If the report is correct then United will have to pay around €35m for the player they sold for £8m. That fee could have hit £9.8m with add-ons. However, the key factor is that United are said to have placed a buyback clause in the deal. €60m exit clause The Manchester Evening News, among others have reported that United have first refusal on Januzaj, who has a €60m exit clause in his contract. United also have a 30% sell-on clause on the player, who was recently linked with Southampton. Mundo Deportivo have suggested that Saints are lining up a €25m offer in January.
