Reports: Manchester United set to seal deal for 22-year-old Borussia Dortmund star agent

Manchester United have reportedly opened talks with Borussia Dortmund star Dan-Axel Zagadou’s agent over a deal as the defender edges closer to the end of his contract, according to French outlet Foot Mercato.

Zagadou, joined Borussia Dortmund from Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) in 2017, has entered the final six months of his deal with the Bundesliga outfit. The 22-year-old’s contract situation at the German club has reportedly attracted interest from several teams across Europe

According to the report, Manchester Unitedare interested in signing Zagadou on a free transfer in the summer.

Interim Manchester United manager Ralf Rangnick reportedly tried to take Zagadou to RB Leipzig in the past. Rangick is now keen to strengthen the Red Devils’ defence with the addition of the 22-year-old.

Rangnick is not expected to remain Manchester United’s manager beyond the end of the season. However, the German tactician could push for a move for Zagadou as the club’s advisor in the summer.

Manchester United, though, do not have a free hit at trying to sign Zagadou on a free transfer.Borussia Dortmund are keen to retain the Frenchman’s services beyond the summer if reports are to be believed.

The tendency with Dan Axel Zagadou is clearly towards a contract extension, and BVB would also like to tie Manuel Akanji down for the long term. Nevertheless, the Swiss has attracted a lot of international attention with his performances.

The Bundesliga giants have also opened negotiations about extending Zagadou’s contract, according to the report. It remains to be seen if Borussia Dortmund will succeed in keeping the centre-back amid interest from Manchester United.
