Oxford United is set to enhance its offer for Charlie Savage from Reading FC. This follows an initial bid that was rejected earlier this week. The Championship club previously proposed around £500,000, which Reading declined.
Oxford United’s Continued Interest in Charlie Savage
The pursuit for Savage, a promising 22-year-old midfielder, is part of Oxford’s strategy to enhance their midfield options as the January transfer window approaches. Reading’s refusal of the initial bid has not deterred Oxford, which is expected to come back with a better proposal.
Player Profile: Charlie Savage
- Age: 22 years old
- Position: Midfielder
- Current Club: Reading FC
- Previous Club: Manchester United
- Contract Status: Joined Reading in the summer of 2023
Savage, the son of former Wales international Robbie Savage, has quickly become an essential player for Reading. He has participated in nearly all of the club’s League One matches this season, contributing significantly to the team’s performance.
Transfer Implications
Should a deal materialize, Manchester United will benefit from a notable sell-on clause included in Savage’s contract. This clause ensures that they will receive a substantial portion of any transfer fee if Savage moves again.
As Oxford United prepares its renewed bid, all eyes will be on Reading’s response. The club’s decision will ultimately shape the future of one of their key young talents.
