Jose Mourinho Closing In On Blaise Matuidi
For some weeks, all the talks have been about Paul Pogba. Various news outlets have claimed strong Manchester United interest for the Frenchman. But following the new reports in the last 24 hours, it seems we were all talking about the wrong Frenchman.
Yesterday, Goal France claimed that Blaise Matuidi was in England for transfer talks with an unnamed English club.
L’Equipe have now taken the story further by claiming Jose Mourinho is very keen to bring a second Paris-Saint Germain name to Old Trafford, after successfully completing the high-profile Zlatan Ibrahimovic deal.
L’Equipe’s Guillaume Dufy believes Manchester United’s new boss can land his man for as little as €25m.
