Matthijs de Ligt to join PSG after Man United and Barcelona fail to match £17m-a-year wage offer

Daily Mail  

Europe's most sought-after defender Matthijs de Ligt is poised to join Paris Saint-Germain with rivals Manchester United and Barcelona failing to come close to matching the French club's offer of £17million-a-year. The teenager Matthijs de Ligt is poised to join Paris Saint-Germain in the summer transfer window Though expected, de Ligt's decision is a blow to United who will have to work hard to make sure they don't suffer another summer transfer window of discontent following complaints last year from Jose Mourinho. Crystal Palace's Aaron Wan-Bissaka is top of their shopping list for a right-back but with Palace wanting a 'premium' fee of £60million because the player is classified as a homegrown player, United are also lining up other options with PSG's Belgian international Thomas Meunier their next-best choice and Tottenham's Kieran Trippier also on a shortlist. City won the race for Samir Nasri but more recently United gazzumped their rivals to sign Alexis Sanchez at the beginning of last year - a financial outlay that Ed Woodward has vowed not to repeat, hence the decision not to match PSG's offer to de Ligt.
