The Red Devils are said to be prioritising strengthening the left-hand side of their defence in 2025, with new manager Ruben Amorim desperate to add natural options to his squad to help implement his 3-4-3 system since his arrival from Sporting CP.
According to the report, Amorim believes that signing Mendes would not only solve the team’s defensive problems, but would also add a key attacking component on the left flank.
The rumours surrounding Portugal international Mendes are getting louder, with question marks surrounding his contract situation in the French captial.
With PSG aware of the player’s intentions and his contract situation, they would be willing to negotiate a move for him to leave the club in the new year and have set an asking price of around €70m (£58m) according to the report.
The asking price could prove to be a problem for INEOS and Amorim however, with Man Utd struggling to comply with FFP and PSR regulations currently meaning their ability to pay big transfer fees is expected to be limited. It’s also likely that with the club struggling to qualify for Europe this season, they could be a less attractive option for top players in the coming transfer windows.
