Manchester United approach former Bayern Munich midfielder Corentin Tolisso.
United Target Ligue 1 Star Midfielder
Manchester Utd are working on gaining experience in their squad this summer. They have turned their eye to Lyon midfielder Corentin Tolisso. There are reported discussions going on with Frenchman as the Red Devils look to bolster the squad ahead of the new season.
The player was once thrived in the middle of **Bayern Munich**‘s midfield. He has quietly got back to a good level in Ligue 1. United were struck by Tolisso’s ability to keep his composure under pressure and his adaptability in midfield.
With Christian Eriksen leaving the club, there is a need for a seasoned campaigner. They want a player who can guide new players. They are looking for someone that has played at the level of the Premier League.
As per L’Equipe, Man Utd has now reached out to Lyon to see if they can put a deal together.
Lyon’s Financial Struggles Open Door for Transfer
Lyon’s current financial issues could help make the transfer a reality. The French club is reportedly under pressure to sell players with big wages and decent market value. Tolisso fits that profile perfectly. Even though United are perhaps still focused on younger players. But, there’s still room for more stability and Tolisso can offer that.
He has high-level experience and also won the UCL with Bayern. So, he makes a good target for Utd. He will not cost the earth, which ticks the boxes with Man Utd’s attempt to balance the books.
Both clubs are likely keen, and United sound serious. The next few days will be key to understand the situation well. Tolisso will be offering depth, intelligence for the midfield, and calmness. This is turning to be a busy summer transfer window that could bring much turnover.
