Manchester United would be prepared to provide him with an exit route in the summer. According to reports from Spain, they are looking to bring in a left back in the summer, and they have put together a four-man shortlist. David Raum, Tyrick Mitchell and Antonee Robinson are also on their radar.
The 19-year-old Arsenal prodigy would cost around €60 million in the summer, and it remains to be seen whether Manchester United is willing to pay up.
The asking price is quite substantial for a young player who has yet to prove himself consistently at the highest level. However, his talent is beyond any doubt. If Manchester United decide to pay up for him, it could be a long-term investment. There is no doubt Lewis-Skelly could justify the investment in future.
Joining Manchester United could be an exciting proposition for the young defender as well. They have an incredible record in grooming young players, and they could help him fulfil his potential. He is likely to get more opportunities at Old Trafford as well. Manchester United are pushing for Champions League qualification for the upcoming campaign, and they will be an attractive destination for players.
If he manages to fulfil his potential with Manchester United, the €60 million investment could look like a bargain in future. They have the resources to afford the young defender, and it remains to be seen what they decide in the coming weeks.
