Saint-Maximin has been at Newcastle for a number of years now and, at 25, is considering whether to stay with the Magpies' ambitious Premier League project or make a move to another top club. Chelsea and Tottenham have been targeting him for some time and it has now emerged that Manchester United are doing the same.
'MediaFoot' is the media outlet that brought this information to light. It means that the Red Devils' agenda is getting even bigger. In the last few weeks, it has been usual to know the names of around ten players who could reinforce the ranks of Erik ten Hag. The aim is to change the team's image after a bad start to the season, although they made up for it by beating Liverpool on the third matchday of the league.
Other players who have been linked with a move to Old Trafford include Kevin Trapp, Tim Krul, Yannick Carrasco, Begovic and Christian Pulisic, who has turned down the option. There have also been formally announced signings such as Casemiro, who had the opportunity to greet his new fans at Old Trafford.
Back to the case of Saint-Maximin, his market value is more than 30 million euros and he has a contract until 2026 with Newcastle. With Chelsea and Tottenham also in the race, his asking price could skyrocket, which would not be good for Manchester United.
