Arriving in 2021 from Sporting Portugal, Nuno Mendes wasted no time in showing that he has great qualities. It is no surprise that Paris Saint-Germain wanted to secure the future with a contract extension (which ends in 2026) of the 22-year-old left back. According to I Paper, it's off to a bad start as his agent has increased the request and the player is thinking of Manchester United with his former coach at Sporting Portugal, Ruben Amorim.
“Rising Paris Saint-Germain star Nuno Mendes is keen to become Ruben Amorim's first big signing at Manchester United after negotiations for a new contract in the French capital failed.
A deal is far from a done deal, however, as the Premier League giants have very little money to spend in the January transfer window, or even next summer.
All is not lost, however. Offers for the majority of struggling players would be considered, allowing underperforming stars to go out on loan with their wages, or part of it, taken care of.
United are struggling to find suitors for several of their top players – Marcus Rashford, Casemiro and Antony – but loan fees could free up cash, in PSR's eyes.
The French champions were close to agreeing a new contract that would make the 22-year-old one of the “highest paid full-backs in world football”, according to sources, before his agent upped his demands and started to make advances at United. »
Be careful, these are still just rumors without any official confirmation. We have already seen the media take advantage of a link between a coach and a former player, or an agent put pressure in negotiations. Here, there can be a bit of both.
We also note a somewhat vague rumor, with a lack of money on the Manchester United side, but which can be resolved with offers received, except that there is in fact a lack of suitors, but that will be fine. It is difficult to know how many means there would be for such a transfer. Without forgetting that the agreement with PSG is not even mentioned.
The latter can still work on a contract extension, even if there is obviously a hitch. Let's wait before jumping to the outcome of the case.
