Manchester United are one of a number of teams interested in signing Gianluca Busio, according to Kansas City scouting director Edward Burleson.
Busio was a breakthrough performer for Kansas City throughout this year and enjoyed a campaign which has seen him net four goals and grab two assists in 31 games.
As a result of his displays the 17-year-old has been linked with a move to Europe within the next few years, and Burleson claims United and Inter Milan have already shown an interest in signing the midfielder.
“He’s a great talent. He is a player who can play safely in Europe,” Burleson told TuttoMercatoWeb.
“He has great technique, he is a smart player, a box to box and he works hard. For me, if he wants to be successful at high levels, he must change soon.
“If he wants to make a great career, he has to go to Europe soon. Then the technical director will decide his future, and I honestly don’t think he will let him go because he is a great talent, a product of our youth sector and a player of which we are proud.
“Inter? Yes, I also know about Manchester United. These are things that came out. We also had an offer, even if not from Inter. But we didn’t let him go.
“I don’t know if and when it will happen, maybe in a year or between two. But what is certain is that the pressure on Busio is always greater, given the many clubs that are coming forward.”
