Manchester United is readying a €60 million offer for Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Warren Zaire-Emery, according to sources close to the club. The 20-year-old French international is under contract at PSG until 2029, and the Ligue 1 champions value him at around €68 million.
Why United wants Zaire-Emery
United's midfield has been a priority for manager Erik ten Hag, who sees Zaire-Emery as a long-term solution. The youngster has already made over 80 appearances for PSG's first team, showing composure and versatility in central and defensive midfield roles. His ability to break lines with passing and carry the ball forward fits the profile United's recruitment team has been targeting.
PSG's valuation and stance
PSG is not actively looking to sell Zaire-Emery, but the club's financial situation could force a sale if an offer meets their €68 million asking price. The Parisians have been working to comply with UEFA's Financial Fair Play regulations and may need to generate significant transfer income this summer. Zaire-Emery, who came through PSG's academy, is considered one of the club's most valuable assets.
What happens next
United is expected to formalize the bid in the coming days. PSG will likely counter with a demand closer to their valuation, but sources indicate the two clubs have a good relationship and could find a compromise. The player himself has not publicly commented on the interest, but his representatives are aware of United's pursuit. A deal could be reached before the start of the Premier League season if both sides agree on terms.
