MU is about to complete the signing of Cody Gakpo, PSG want Fred, Edouard Mendy to refuse to sign a new 6 year contract with Chelsea is the latest transfer news today, December 24.
MU will soon complete the signing of Cody Gakpo
The Telegraph said, MU will soon complete the signing of Cody Gakpo from PSV.
The Dutch striker is the target transfer No. 1 of MU at the winter market – January 2023, after the club decided to terminate the contract with Ronaldo early.
Gakpo was one of the standout players for the Netherlands at the 2022 World Cup, scoring three goals to help coach Louis Van Gaal’s team reach the quarter-finals in Qatar.
At PSV, Cody Gakpo also played very well with 13 goals and 17 assists for PSG by the time of the 2022 World Cup.
The source added, earlier in the week MU offered to pay £ 43.1 million for Cody Gakpo and the 23-year-old star himself seems ready for an adventure to Old Trafford.
Gakpo once did not hesitate to say: “If MU comes, I will think about it”. In the summer he thought he could work with Erik ten Hag, but then the Red Devils prioritized signing Antony, so the purchase of Gakpo was postponed.
PSG suddenly targeted Fred
The Sun announced that MU midfielder Fred is on the list of potential signings of PSG for next summer.
The rich French team has been linked with the Brazilian star for a long time and wants him to be a part of PSG’s squad from next season.
MU recently activated a one-year extension with Fred to make sure he doesn’t lose him at the end of the season. The midfielder has struggled under Erik ten Hag, having only started four of the Red Devils’ 14 Premier League matches since the start of the tournament.
According to the above source, MU will not consider selling Fred for less than £ 30 million and Erik ten Hag is very impressed with the attitude of the Brazilian midfielder, despite not being able to play regularly.
Fred may be attracted to PSG, when there are Brazil teammates Neymar and Marquinhos.
Edouard Mendy refuses to renew Chelsea
The Senegal goalkeeper was told to reject Chelsea’s offer to sign a new six-year contract, due to dissatisfaction with the salary.
Mendy still has two and a half years left on his current deal with the Blues, but the club have already discussed a new contract with his agent.
According to The Sun, the salary offered by Chelsea was considered “disrespectful” by Mendy.
Mendy currently earns around £100,000 a week and wants to double that figure. However, Chelsea offers less than that.
