Manchester United and Chelsea are both keeping a close eye on OGC Nice goalkeeper Marcin Bułka, with the French club setting an asking price of €20-25 million.
As both Premier League giants assess their goalkeeping departments this summer, Bułka has emerged as a serious option, sources close to the agent industry have informed CaughtOffside.
For Man United, the search for a reliable addition between the posts has become a priority following Andre Onana’s inconsistent spell at the club.
The goalkeeper has been involved in some high profile errors at the club and his failure to improve his form could become the reason of his departure from the club this summer.
Man United and Chelsea want a new goalkeeper this summer
Bułka’s strong performances in Ligue 1 have caught the attention of some of the biggest clubs in the world. The goalkeeper made 40 appearances for the French club last season.
Meanwhile, Chelsea are also considering a move for Bułka, who previously spent time in their youth system, making him eligible as a “homegrown” player under Premier League rules.
This status could be a crucial factor for Chelsea, who are looking to find a reliable goalkeeper this summer. With Robert Sanchez failing to fully convince manager Enzo Maresca, the Blues have identified Bulka as one of their potential goalkeeping options.
