C. Mandas Transfer from Lazio to Manchester United
Christos Mandas, the Greek goalkeeper playing for Lazio, has reportedly attracted interest from several clubs, including Manchester United, as observed this summer. Mandas, who transferred from Ofi Creta a year ago, has made a significant impression when filling in for Provedel. Although his contract extends until 2028, discussions for a salary increase are underway since he is currently one of the lowest-paid players in the squad. In August, Lazio proposed raising his salary from 100,000 euros to 500,000 euros per season, while it is understood that Mandas's representatives are seeking 800,000 euros. Negotiations are anticipated to continue over the coming weeks.
Manchester United showed interest in Mandas due to his impressive performance this year. Lazio considered including him as part of a deal to acquire Greenwood, but the negotiations took a different direction.
Lazio's goalkeeper Christos Mandas has attracted interest from Manchester United due to his performance in the latter part of the season. Lazio values him between 18 and 20 million euros.
If Manchester United refuses Lazio's initial offer for Mason Greenwood, Lazio might include Christos Mandas' card along with a significant financial adjustment.
The Greek goalkeeper Christos Mandas, who was acquired by Lazio twelve months ago from OFI Creta for 1 million euros, has shown significant qualities, especially after replacing Provedel during his injury. His performance has attracted interest, particularly from Premier League clubs. Manchester United is also monitoring his situation.
Mandas, the Greek goalkeeper, is waiting for a call from the Lazio management to discuss a contract renewal. His current contract will only expire in 2028, but he is one of the least paid players in the squad (just 200,000 euros per season). After showing off this year, replacing Provedel first in the Coppa Italia derby and then in the last month, with number 94 forced to box due to an ankle injury, an adjustment seems deserved and the same Lazio club agrees to recognize him the right merit. Especially considering the voices that come from abroad: both Manchester United and City have set their eyes on the 2001-born Lazio player.
Christos Mandas has been the second goalkeeper for Lazio and the club is considering how to enhance his future. He came from Ofi Creta last summer and replaced Provedel in recent games. In 9 games, he has secured 4 clean sheets and only conceded 7 goals. At 22, he still has room for growth. Lazio is deciding whether to keep him in the team next year as a vice or find a loan placement for him to guarantee more continuous playing time. Much of the choice about the Greek goalkeeper's destiny will depend on what happens in the summer. The club has not put him on the market, but there is interest from some top clubs (Manchester United in particular). If important offers were to come, they would be listened to by Lotito, in the knowledge that, thanks to Mandas, the backs would still be covered.
