Manchester United handed boost in defender’s pursuit as PSG look to offload Frenchman

Serge Aurier

Premier League giant Manchester United have been handed boost in their chase of Paris Saint-Germain defender Serge Aurier.

Manchester United have agreed to terms with Aurier, who is currently banned from entering the United Kingdom.

The Red Devils have been handed a transfer boost in their pursuit of Serge Aurier.

The Arsenal, Chelsea and Spurs target could leave PSG this summer transfer window as French publication L’Equipe report that Paris Saint Germain want to raise €50 million from the sale of the player.

Having recently spent a staggering €222m on Brazilian Neymar Jr, the Parisians may well need to balance their balance sheet, but the France international Aurier was banned from entering the United Kingdom back in October as his punishment for assaulting a police officer.

According to recent reports from France, the 24-year-old defender wants to leave the French City of Paris, and has tough competition at right-back with former Barcelona defender Dani Alves joining Thomas Meunier.

Paris Saint Germain value the full-back at €25 million, but he’s already agreed terms with Premier League giant Manchester United, who are still waiting on whether he can obtain a UK VISA.

It is thought that ‘Super-agent’ Mino Raiola, who took Frenchman Paul Pogba and Belgian Romelu Lukaku to Manchester United in the past two summer transfer windows, has been acting as an intermediary for United with the defender’s agent, Stephane Courbis, and that an online agreement has been reached over a salary package.
