Serie A club AS Roma will reportedly look to sign 26-year-old Dutch full-back Tyrell Malacia from Manchester United in the summer transfer window.

According to an update by reputed Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano, Tyrell Malacia is the subject of interest from AS Roma. The Serie A giants are keen on reinforcing their defensive unit by signing a new left-back in the summer transfer window. So, the 26-year-old Manchester United outcast has emerged as a target for the Giallorossi.

The Serie A heavyweights have established contact over a possible move in the summer transfer window. The Dutchman is keen on joining AS Roma, and the Giallorossi will “ask for deal conditions” as they look to secure his services. Meanwhile, Malacia is also a target for Besiktas, with the Turkish outfit keen on signing him from Manchester United.

Tyrell Malacia and his Manchester United woes

Tyrell Malacia has seen his stock plummet despite a solid debut season with Manchester United. The 26-year-old arrived at Old Trafford in Erik ten Hag’s debut season, and he featured regularly for the Premier League club. However, a long-term knee injury has stunted the player’s progress, and he has barely featured for Manchester United in the last two seasons.

The Dutch full-back has turned out nearly 50 times thus far for Manchester United, amassing over 3,000 minutes of game time. However, Malacia has no future at Old Trafford, with the Red Devils ready to cash in on him in the summer transfer window. Meanwhile, the player has no shortage of suitors pursuing his signature.

What next?

Recent reports have linked Tyrell Malacia with Celtic and Saudi Pro League clubs. The former Feyenoord defender is also a target for Besiktas. However, Malacia’s next destination may be AS Roma, with the Serie A outfit establishing contact over a possible move for the Manchester United outcast.

However, AS Roma’s interest in Malacia is intriguing, considering Gian Piero Gasperini has two left-backs in his squad. Nevertheless, the 26-year-old Dutchman has emerged as a target for the Giallorossi during talks with Manchester United over a deal for Jadon Sancho.

While Sancho has yet to approve a move to AS Roma, he may reunite with Malacia at Stadio Olimpico if he is ready to join the Giallorossi, as the Dutch full-back wants to play under Gian Piero Gasperini in the 2025/26 season. It will be interesting to see what the future holds for Malacia.
