Manchester United’s summer transfer activity could be about to ramp up in a big way.

According to TEAMtalk, United have launched an ambitious enquiry into the possibility of signing Paris Saint-Germain sensation Warren Zaire-Emery. The 19-year-old midfielder is being eyed as a potential long-term solution in the centre of the park, particularly as Christian Eriksen prepares to depart and Casemiro’s future remains uncertain.

Zaire-Emery’s pedigree is already impressive for someone so young. A full French international with 125 senior appearances for PSG under his belt, the teenager has contributed eight goals and nine assists while helping the Paris giants to Ligue 1 and Champions League glory.

The Red Devils’ interest is concrete, but the price tag attached to Zaire-Emery will make this deal incredibly tough to pull off. As TEAMtalk reports, “PSG have set a prohibitive price tag of around €100m (£85.3m).” While the French club hasn’t ruled out a sale completely, it’s clear they won’t budge on their valuation unless it’s met in full.

With Manchester United also working within the limits of the Premier League’s Profitability and Sustainability Rules (PSR), big-money signings such as this one will depend heavily on outgoings. United are reportedly open to selling Casemiro, and they’ll need to offload more before making a serious move.

Zaire-Emery’s qualities align perfectly with new manager Ruben Amorim’s vision. The PSG youngster brings energy, tactical discipline, and high-level experience—despite his age. While he faced competition from Vitinha, Fabian Ruiz, and Joao Neves at PSG, he still managed 33 starts last season. That’s a strong indication of his maturity and consistency.

Should a deal become viable, Zaire-Emery could help reshape United’s midfield for the next decade.
