Manchester United – Mercato: €49m for a former AS Monaco player!
Before the reception of Southampton at Old Trafford on behalf of the 25th day of the Premier League, Manchester United, led by Cristiano Ronaldo or Marcus Rashford and Jadon Sancho, currently occupies sixth place in the English championship standings.
But if there are still a little more than three months of competitions, this does not prevent the leaders of Manchester United from already having a very attentive eye on the next summer Mercato.
With the almost announced departure of Paul Pogba, at the end of his contract with MU in June, or the probable departure of Donny van de Beek, currently on loan to Everton, at the end of the season, as well as the very mixed performances of the Brazilian Fred, the Red Devils are already thinking of recruiting one or even more midfielder(s) at the Mercato next summer.
But according to information from daily starit would be good a former AS Monaco player who would be the best placed on the short list of Mancunian leaders!
Indeed, Manchester United would very much appreciate the profile of Youri Tielemans (24), who is having a great season in the Premier League with Leicester City (5 goals and 3 assists in 17 games) and who had worn the AS jersey Monaco during the 2017/2018 financial year. An offer of around €49m would even be mentioned by the British tabloid!
Case to follow therefore between the current sixth in the Premier League and the Belgian international midfielder Youri Tielemans, who had been recruited by the Leicester City Foxes from AS Monaco against a large check for 42 million euros, during the Mercato in 2019.
