According to the most recent sources, Manchester United and one of their star players are about to agree on a contract.
Luke Shaw, a left-back for Manchester United, signed a new contract with the team on April 4. He will continue to be on their books through June 2027.
But the Red Devils still need to put in some effort if they want to stop a player exodus over the next 18 months. According to current circumstances, David de Gea is expected to become a free agent this summer, while players like Marcus Rashford, Diogo Dalot, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, and Alejandro Garnacho have contracts that expire in June 2024.
The potential introduction of a wage cap has complicated Man Utd's negotiations with De Gea and Rashford, two of their top paid players. Man Utd is prepared to implement a salary cap at £300,000 per week in order to stop outrageous contracts from being offered, like those that were previously awarded to Paul Pogba and Alexis Sanchez. De Gea's career at Old Trafford is now in jeopardy due to this, since he presently earns a staggering £375,000 per week.
However, 90Min reports that Erik ten Hag's team is close to coming to a 'deal' with the goalie and his squad. Man United reportedly has overcome all significant obstacles and is only left with a few minor issues to resolve before an agreement can be finalized.
De Gea has consented to a pay reduction, albeit 90Min do not specify the financial terms of his new contract. Previously, it was stated that his weekly salary will decrease to £300,000.
Due to concerns over De Gea's performance, Man Utd has been linked to a number of goalkeepers. He was terrible as they lost to Sevilla in the Europa League semifinals, and he also didn't appear to be saving any penalties as Manchester United edged over Brighton to advance to the FA Cup final.
Diogo Costa of Porto, a goalkeeper, is one prospective target. Emi Martinez of Aston Villa and David Raya of Brentford have also been mentioned as possible targets for Manchester United.
Ten Hag, though, has advised Man Utd officials that, for the moment, extending De Gea's contract is the best course of action. Man United will struggle to afford a top-tier goalkeeper this summer as the manager prioritizes the acquisition of a new striker and midfielder.
He has therefore chosen to continue with De Gea for one more campaign before maybe going all-out to find a replacement in the summer of 2024.
When De Gea is committed, the Carabao Cup winners must negotiate Rashford's new conditions. He has thoroughly earned a significant new deal and has thoroughly enjoyed this period of his life. A new contract with Manchester United would also help to ward off Paris Saint-Germain, who are rumored to be fans of the attacking player.
Man United set for double swoop on PSG stars
According to rumors, Man Utd might decimate PSG this summer if they manage to sign both Kylian Mbappe and his attack partner Neymar.
The French team anticipated the incredibly skilled trio would finally bring home the Champions League when they added Lionel Messi to their impressive attacking options.
But they are still unable to win the prized title. They were eliminated from the Champions League by Real Madrid in the round of 16 the previous year. The fact that Bayern Munich beat them this season and advanced to the quarterfinals meant that they could only reach that round.
The PSG owners do not consider winning the Ligue 1 to be sufficient, and Christophe Galtier's position may be in jeopardy as a result of the heartbreak in the UCL. The lethal offensive combination of Mbappe, Neymar, and Messi might leave Parc des Princes as well.
Mbappe has been associated with Real and Manchester United, while Messi is being pursued by Barcelona for a return to the Nou Camp. Recent rumours claim that Real may drop Mbappe in favor of Kai Havertz from Chelsea to succeed Karim Benzema in the coming years, which is good news for Erik ten Hag's team.
Additionally, Mbappe and Neymar might possibly move to Old Trafford. Foot Mercato, a French source, claims that for a while now, Man Utd has been'monitoring' Neymar's position.
In order to free up money on the pay bill for some elite new players to join, PSG hopes to transfer the Brazil international in the summer. Man United are considering making an offer for him in light of this information.
According to the story, Neymar won't join Manchester United unless the club is acquired by Qataris, whose bid is being led by Sheikh Jassim.
In the event of such a takeover, Manchester United would have the money available to cover Neymar's transfer fee as well as his enormous salary. Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, the Emir of Qatar, also owns PSG, In order to make such a transaction happen, Man Utd's potential new owners would have the necessary connections.
Convincing Neymar to join the Premier League is a consideration that needs to be taken into account. He wants to continue his career with PSG and does not currently see himself leaving the French club.
Additionally, the 31-year-old is in a powerful negotiating position. Although L'Equipe stated that he has the option to extend his terms until 2027, his PSG contract is set to expire in June 2025.
Man Utd will need to launch a major charm attack if they want to entice Neymar away from Paris as a result of these conditions. They will have to offer the attacker a sizable salary and inform him that he will take the lead role in their team.
Neymar and Mbappe moving together is a possibility, but Man Utd must pass some hurdles before any deals can be finalized.
