Manchester United have agreed personal terms to land a Tottenham midfield target, while Wolves are after a Lyon midfield enforcer, all in Friday’s European press.
MAN UTD CLOSE IN ON MIDFIELDER SIGNING
Manchester United have reportedly agreed personal terms with Lyon midfielder Tanguy Ndombele.
Lyon president Jean-Michel Aulas has previously said that both United and Manchester City had made enquiries for the player, although Tottenham are known to have been scouting the 22-year-old since the 2017-18 season – viewing him as a long-term replacement for Mousa Dembele, who left for China in January.
Ndombele joined Lyon from Amiens in August 2017 on an initial loan deal and impressed hugely during his debut campaign, racking up 50 appearances in all competitions.
He recently spoke out about interest from England – seemingly confirming that Spurs are after him, although opening the door for other ‘big clubs’.
And now a report claims that United have come to a ‘contractual agreement’ with the highly-rated midfielder, while Serie A giants Juventus have done likewise.
The Red Devils are also understood to have ‘formulated’ a €60m bid, although Lyon are looking for an offer closer to €90m – which could cause a major issue going forward.
The report adds that Ndombele will not try and force a move away from the Parc Olympique Lyonnais, which means any potential suitors will have to get closer to Lyon’s asking price.
