Manchester United is weighing whether to exercise his repurchase clause for Álvaro Fernández in Benfica if they cannot agree on a rate by Patrick Dorgu de Lecce.
United had an offer of £ 16.8 million plus £ 4.2 million in accessories rejected by LECCE last week and proposed £ 25.2 million in additional informal discussions, but it still has to reach an agreement.
They have an repurchase option of £ 15 million in Álvaro that is active until January 2026 and sent the staff to see him once again on Saturday night while Benfica played at Casa Pia.
The complete return made its 18th appearance for the Portuguese team in its 3-1 defeat and has also appeared in its seven games in the Champions League.
Dorgu is still a possibility, but Álvaro, 21, who has been one of Benfica's best players this season, represents a good value.
The Spanish joined United in September 2020 of Real Madrid, signing a four -year contract and then enjoyed loan spells in Preston and Benfica.

The man of Benfica would be the first signing under Ruben Amorim since arriving in November
United has also made a second offer of around 28 million for Lecce Wing Back Patrick Dorgu
He left to join by the Portuguese League side permanently after they activated a purchase option of £ 5 million in its loan agreement last summer.
Speaking last November, Álvaro revealed that a transfer back to United is not in his radar, and that he is completely focused on his goals with Benfica and the Spanish national team.
“I have people close to me and they are the ones who look at him more,” he told Marca.
To be honest, I don't pay much attention. I am focused on what I have to do because I have a game every three days.
'It is always good for the teams to call you and everyone wants to grow, but I am doing very well here.
'United has a signed purchase option, but I'm very happy here. I have a five -year contract with Benfica.
'I want to win titles and continue to grow personally, since I still have only 21 years. I want to win, either with Spain or Benfica, continue to grow.
United is looking to build his squad under the new manager Ruben Amorim, who assumed the position of Erik Ten Hag last year in an attempt to change the fortune of the Red Devils.
United has already received two offers rejected for the 20 -year -old, who is valued at £ 33.6 million
Since he took over, the Portuguese have implemented a setback system that has been based on the Ala forests attack game, however, in terms of players to play that position, the options have been thin.
Luke Shaw has been injured, but he is expected to return next month, while Tyrel Malia has told him that he can borrow. As he did an investigation for the Dutchman, but since then he changed to other objectives.
Nuno Mendes de Psg was the first option for the left side, but he and the second option of Milos Kerkez in Bournemouth were too expensive for United's budget, therefore, Dorgu is persecuted.
It is still an active objective, but United is determined not to pay more.
On that side, Noussair Mazraoui has also played the role sometimes, although it has seemed more comfortable as part of the three rear.
Amad Diallo is another player who has played Wing Back, but has stood out in a more attacker, which has included a hat-trick against Southampton last week.
Therefore, the United are eager to sign more natural players to fulfill the role, with Dorgu, 28, who is also a complete international Denmark, the upper part of the list and Álvaro as a backup option in case They cannot sign the Lecce man.
