Man Utd Reach Verbal Agreement for £50M-Rated Man City, PSG Target | OneFootball

Paris Saint-Germain have been strengthening their connection to Portugal through sporting advisor Luis Campos, bringing in players like Vitinha, João Neves, and Gonçalo Ramos.

But when the summer transfer window opens, Manchester United will look to outmaneuver PSG for a young prospect both clubs have been tracking.

According to a previous Foot Mercato report, PSG, along with Manchester City and Manchester United, are closely monitoring 17-year-old Geovany Quenda from Sporting Lisbon.

United’s interest stands out, as manager Rúben Amorim previously coached Sporting. The Athletic recently reported that United plan to make a move for Quenda this summer, with Amorim eager for a reunion.

The teenager is expected to cost around €40 million (£33.4 million).

Speaking on talkSPORT, Jacobs confirmed the verbal agreement with Quenda while also detailing what happens next between Man Utd and Sporting.

“The player has agreed verbally personal terms,” Jacobs said. “He’s waiting to see if the clubs pre-agree [a transfer] or wait until the summer.”

Still, Sporting are asking for £17 million more than the £33 million Man Utd thinks Quenda is worth, setting their price at £50 million as Jacobs recently told GIVE ME SPORT.

“Manchester United’s valuation is below that of Sporting’s,” Jacobs added. “They feel that the player is worth in the region of €40 million (£33 million), whereas Sporting’s perspective is the number that he should be sold for is closer to the €60 million mark (£50 million). So that gulf in valuation is something that all parties are going to have to work on.”
