Representatives of Atletico Madrid star Saul Niguez will fly to England on Sunday to negotiate a Premier League move for his client, with Liverpool and Manchester United both interested in his services.
The 26-year-old has been given permission to leave the Spanish champions this summer, and although he has a huge clause of 125 million pounds in his contract, it is likely that a bid of between 35 and 40 million pounds will be accepted.

Atleti hopes to bring Saul into the summer transfer window and has given its representatives permission to find their midfielder a new club. And according to The Mirror, they will fly to England on Sunday to start negotiations with a Premier League club.
Saul hopes to get his future resolved as soon as possible and does not want to look for a club when the new season starts. The midfielder has been an integral player on this Atleti side and made over 300 appearances for Los Rojiblancos.
He even made 33 appearances in La Liga last season and scored two goals when Atleti won the league title for the first time since 2014. Despite his solid performances for the team and his ability to play so seamlessly in Diego Simeone’s robust football style, he is now on the transfer list after the arrival of Rodrigo de Paul.
Los Colchoneros wants to make money on Saul and sees the Premier League as a viable destination for his star. Liverpool, Chelsea and Man Utd have all been linked with the Spaniard, with the Reds even preparing a bid for the Atleti man.

Saul had thought he would join Barcelona in a bold swap deal with Antoine Griezmann earlier this summer, but that step quickly evaporated.
