Idrissa Gueye has become the subject of intense interest from Manchester United and Borussia Dortmund. A breakout star for FC Metz last season, the young Senegal international could leave Lorraine as early as this summer for another league outside France.

Idrissa Gueye has found himself in the spotlight after an impressive campaign in the FC Metz shirt. During the 2024-2025 season, the 18-year-old Senegalese forward featured in 20 matches across all competitions for Les Grenats, netting 6 goals. His performances have caught the eye of two European heavyweights: Manchester United and Borussia Dortmund. According to local media, both giants have already opened talks with the player's representatives.

In this case, FC Metz find themselves in a tricky yet advantageous position. After selling Matthieu Udol to RC Lens following a prolonged transfer saga, the Grenats could be on the verge of losing the breakout star of their second half of the season. However, the Metz management intend to make the most of this situation by setting a high price tag for their jewel. The club is reportedly demanding 15 million euros to part ways with Idrissa Gueye.
