The deal for one of Europe’s most sought-after attacking talents has been confirmed, with medicals now scheduled after an underground agreement was finalized. The player, whose transfer is valued at £65 million, has reportedly chosen to join Manchester United over competing Premier League clubs, marking Ruben Amorim’s first signing of the January transfer window.
The highly-rated forward, a French international, has been a hot commodity since moving to Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) from Eintracht Frankfurt in the summer of 2023. Manchester United had been tracking the player even before his move to PSG, and their continued interest has now culminated in a deal being nearly sealed. It’s understood that the player has already made his decision and has bid farewell to his former teammates, signaling that his move to Old Trafford is 95% confirmed.
The transfer comes at a crucial moment for both the player and PSG, with both parties aware that a solution must be found during this window. PSG has reportedly been open to letting the forward leave as part of their ongoing squad reshuffle. The player himself is in the process of deciding his next steps, with top European clubs, including Juventus and AC Milan, also expressing interest. However, Manchester United’s offer appears to have convinced the forward to make the move to England, where he will likely have a significant role under Amorim’s leadership.
The jersey number has already been chosen, and it’s expected that the player will quickly integrate into Manchester United’s plans for the second half of the season. The club’s fans are eagerly awaiting the official announcement, hoping that the arrival of this promising forward will bolster their attacking options as they look to climb the Premier League table and compete on multiple fronts.
This signing is seen as a major coup for Amorim, who is looking to strengthen his squad and make an immediate impact in his first transfer window as United’s manager.
