Oxford United Prepares Enhanced Bid for Reading’s Charlie Savage After Rejection
Oxford United is set to make an enhanced bid for Charlie Savage, a midfielder from Reading FC, following the rejection of their initial offer. The first proposal was around £500,000 but did not meet Reading’s expectations.
Oxford’s Interest in Charlie Savage
The Championship club’s pursuit of the 22-year-old reflects their desire to bolster their midfield ahead of the January transfer window. Oxford is expected to propose a better offer to see if Reading will reconsider their stance.
Player Profile: Charlie Savage
Charlie Savage, the son of former Wales international Robbie Savage, has become a key figure for Reading this season. He is recognized as one of the club’s most valuable young assets.
- Age: 22
- Current Club: Reading FC
- Previous Club: Manchester United
- Appearances: Started in all but one League One match this term
Transfer Details
A crucial aspect of any potential transfer is the sell-on clause included when Savage transferred from Manchester United to Reading in the summer of 2023. A significant portion of the transfer fee would go to Manchester United, complicating any negotiation.
Oxford United remains determined to add Savage to their squad as they aim for a stronger midfield presence in the upcoming season. Their revised bid will test Reading’s resolve further.
