Talks held as Man United rival PSG for potential €25m wonderkid transfer who Amorim backs to shine at Old Trafford

Although Paris Saint-Germain has already held negotiations over a deal, Manchester United is one of the Premier League teams expressing interest in the possible signing of Dinamo Zagreb teenager Martin Baturina.

Although Zagreb is sure that its top player is not for sale, CaughtOffside knows that PSG has been attempting to sign Baturina for about €25 million and wants to complete the deal as soon as possible.

After observing his exploits, Man Utd is one of the teams that have expressed a great interest in the gifted 21-year-old attacking midfielder, who has long been considered a top talent in European football.

As well as the Red Devils, Baturina is also attracting interest from Manchester City, Liverpool, Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid and Barcelona, sources told CaughtOffside.

Still, it remains to be seen if an agreement can be reached to persuade Zagreb to sell the Croatia international, even if it’s hard to imagine they’ll be able to hold on to such an elite prospect for much longer

PSG clearly seem keen to win the race for Baturina and it will be interesting to see how much they’re willing to pay to try to break Zagreb’s resolve.

Still, it would be exciting to see this talented young player moving to the Premier League for the next stage of his development, and he could be just the kind of signing for Ruben Amorim’s new-look United to build around

MUFC could do with strengthening in attack after some underwhelming displays from the likes of Marcus Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho recently, while Antony’s days at Old Trafford are surely numbered.

Baturina looks like he could be just the upgrade United need in that area of the pitch, and like someone who could end up being a smart long-term investment for the club
