Manchester United have initiated the process of signing Paris Saint-Germain defender Nuno Mendes by opening active communication with the agent team of the 22-year-old Portugal international, Sky Sports Germany's Florian Plettenberg has revealed.
Manchester United's unrelenting desire to join the left-back, who is making his debut in the football world with his exceptional defensive skills and contribution to the attacking end, has caught the eye of many of the giants. But United are not alone in their competition, as it has been revealed that at least three top clubs have also entered the fray, complicating the transfer situation.
Despite Manchester United's expectations for Nuno Mendes, it is feared that a transfer will be difficult to finalize in the short term. The shifting transfer market is influenced by a number of factors, including the player's aspirations, the club's financial situation and the negotiation of transfer fees. United will have to be very thoughtful to ensure that they make a wise decision.
Meanwhile, Paris Saint-Germain are actively pursuing a contract extension for Nuno Mendes. His contract is set to expire in June 2026 and the club is clearly reluctant to let go of the promising young talent so easily. They will probably offer more tempting renewal terms to lock in Nuno Mendes.
It will be a key reinforcement if Manchester United can successfully sign Nuno Mendes. The young defender will inject new energy and strength into United's defense, and enhance the team's overall competitiveness. However, in the face of fierce competition and Paris Saint-Germain's strong willingness to extend his contract, United will need to put in more effort and patience in order to complete the transfer deal.
