Jose Maria Gimenez is reportedly set to sign a new contract with Atletico Madrid, a move likely to end ongoing links with Manchester United.

Per Fabrizio Romano of Calciomercato, the Uruguayan centre-back was a target of United's in the summer and was also offered to Juventus—who instead signed Benedikt Howedes on loan—but he is now expected to sign a new deal with Atleti.

Romano added an announcement will be made soon with his price tag set between €55 and 60 million.

Gimenez's current contract has less than a year to run and will expire at the end of the 2017-18 campaign.
