Man Utd See €30M Base Offer Rejected for Nuno Mendes Alternative | OneFootball

The January transfer window offers Ruben Amorim his first opportunity to shape Manchester United according to his vision. While larger changes are expected in the summer, reports suggest Amorim has already set his sights on a key player from Paris Saint-Germain.

Manuel Ugarte, one of PSG’s summer signings, has previously thrived under Amorim’s guidance, highlighting their strong connection.

Now, rumors are circulating that Amorim is interested in reuniting with Nuno Mendes, whom he coached at Sporting Lisbon, and bringing the talented full-back to Old Trafford.

However, Manchester United’s pursuit of Mendes appears to have stalled. According to L’Équipe, the player has reconsidered his future and now seems more likely to stay at PSG.

His representatives have even hinted at the possibility of a contract extension, with Luis Enrique playing a pivotal role in persuading Mendes to remain in Paris. This shift has reportedly caused Manchester United to back off from their interest in the player.

Journalist Gianluca Di Marzio reports that Manchester United’s offer for Patrick Dorgu is €30 million plus €5 million in bonuses. However, Lecce has rejected the bid and is holding out for a higher offer.

Moreover, CaughtOffside reported on Monday, citing sources, that Manchester United have made Wolves left-back Rayan Aït-Nouri their top transfer target in that position, with Mendes no longer appearing to be an option.
