Liverpool and Manchester United are reportedly among the clubs interested in signing Brentford’s central defender and captain, Nathan Collins.
The Irish international has impressed during his time with the Bees and was recently handed the captaincy following Christian Norgaard’s transfer to Arsenal.
However, Brentford now face more challenges as Collins has attracted attention from Liverpool, Man Utd, and Tottenham, according to the Daily Mail.
The report notes that Manchester United might struggle to afford Collins without first selling some players.
This likely won’t be a problem for Liverpool, who have already generated significant funds this summer by selling Darwin Nunez, Luis Diaz, and Caoimhin Kelleher.
Will Nathan Collins secure a major transfer before summer ends?
Collins has delivered strong performances at Brentford, and it remains to be seen if he can successfully step up to a bigger club this season.
It’s a tough situation for Brentford, who have already endured a difficult summer losing Bryan Mbeumo, Norgaard, and their manager Thomas Frank.
Losing Collins too would be a big blow, though the 24-year-old clearly has many suitors.
It will be interesting to watch which club gains the upper hand in signing Collins.
Which team should Collins pick among Liverpool, United, and Spurs?
Liverpool, under Arne Slot, have conceded several goals during pre-season and early league games against Crystal Palace and Bournemouth, so Collins could play a key role at Anfield.
Meanwhile, Manchester United now use a three-man defense and could use extra depth there, as defenders like Harry Maguire and Matthijs de Ligt have had inconsistent performances.
