Elche have made a major breakthrough in their pursuit of Tyrell Malacia, with multiple reports confirming that Man Utd have accepted their latest bid for the player. The defender is now locked in personal discussions with the buying side as they look to get a deal done as quickly as they can. While key details still need resolving, the player's move now appears to be a matter of “when”, not “if”. Elche are still pushing to finalise terms. However, Eyupspor, Lille and Porto are still watching closely and may return with offers of their own. With only 9 goals conceded in 8 (1.12 per game), Elche have been one of the stronger defences in the LaLiga this season.. Tyrell Malacia would be asked to keep that standard and provide dependable cover when needed. Man Utd have also been linked with Andrey Nascimento dos Santos, Morgan Rogers and Adrien Rabiot while Elche are reportedly monitoring Inaki Pena.
