PSG Hesitant to Sell Man Utd €70M-Rated Transfer Target in Latest Update | OneFootball

The January transfer window offers Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim his first opportunity to mold the group to fit his vision. But the most significant moves are expected next summer, with Amorim reportedly setting his sights on a key Paris Saint-Germain player.

United’s summer signing of Manuel Ugarte from PSG has been a standout success, with the midfielder excelling under Amorim’s guidance. Now, reports suggest the Portuguese tactician is keen on reuniting with Nuno Mendes, whom he coached during their time at Sporting Lisbon.

CaughtOffside claims United remains strongly interested in the 22-year-old left-back, who is said to be open to the idea after discussions with his representatives. If Mendes does not agree to a contract extension with PSG, the French club could reportedly consider offers in the region of €70 million when the summer market opens.

Journalist Ben Jacobs revealed on Monday that Mendes has attracted significant interest ahead of the January transfer window, but his departure is far from certain. The Parisians remain hesitant to part ways with the 22-year-old talent mid-season.

Manchester United are reportedly keeping tabs on Mendes, while three other Premier League clubs have also made inquiries about the Portuguese international.

Although a January move is considered a challenging deal to finalize, the growing interest from multiple suitors suggests the battle for Mendes could heat up in the coming weeks.

Meanwhile, journalist Matteo Moretto reported that PSG are closely monitoring Barcelona’s Alejandro Balde as a potential summer target in case Nuno Mendes departs.
