Manchester United, who faced Rosenborg BK in a pre-season match, now have a clear price for Radek Vitek. The young goalkeeper, who impressed against Rosenborg, is now ready for sale, and United have a clear example of what they should demand.
Why is £22m the minimum price for Vitek?
Manchester United have a clear example of what they should demand for Radek Vitek. After Coventry paid £22.5m for Carl Rushworth, this is the minimum price United should ask for Vitek. The young goalkeeper has two years left on his contract and is three years younger than Rushworth.
What does this mean for Rosenborg BK?
Rosenborg BK, who are currently 9th in Eliteserien with 18 points (5 wins, 3 draws, 6 losses), faced Vitek in a pre-season match. While not directly relevant to the club, this shows how players who impress against Rosenborg can become valuable.
What happens next?
If Vitek is to be sold, United should demand at least £22m. If no clubs are willing to pay this, United should opt for a loan solution. This shows that Ineos is a better selling club than before.
