Manchester United are considering a shock move for Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Warren Zaire-Emery according to TEAMtalk. The 19 year old is considered one of the top young players in the world and is fresh off of helping his club complete a treble this season including the Champions League title.
He has already made 125 appearances for the French giants, scoring eight goals and providing nine assists. He is a full French international and is seen as a future leader for club and country.
While he is not a nailed on starter for PSG ahead of the likes of Vitinha, Fabian Ruiz, and Joao Neves in midfield, he remains a useful option for Luis Enrique. He started 33 games across all competitions last season and is considered a key player at the club.
PSG have slapped a whopping €100 million tag on their man to ward off any potential suitors.
United are looking to replace Christian Eriksen whose contract is set to expire at the end of June, and Casemiro who they are open to offers for this summer.
Zaire-Emery wanted at Old Trafford
At the moment United are in the exploratory phase of talks, only holding preliminary talks with the player’s representatives. They have made it clear to the player that their interest is firm, but PSG’s asking price and conditions will make the deal a difficult one to pull off.
Any move for Zaire-Emery would require United to sell players first to free up funds. United are expected to part ways with several first team players with Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho, and Antony all returning from loans and made available for transfer this summer.
Alejandro Garnacho is another who looks set to exit after being told by manager Ruben Amorim to find a new club.
A move for Zaire-Emery would also likely develop much later in the window, as United are prioritizing attacking reinforcements. Having already secured the signing of Wolves forward Matheus Cunha, United have now submitted a new and revised bid for Brentford forward Bryan Mbeumo after seeing their first bid knocked back.
The Red Devils are known to also be on the market for an out-and-out striker, and will most likely look to secure a new goal scorer before reentering the market.
