PSG Register Shock Interest In Swoop For Man Utd Ighalo by WILLIAMSKECH: 10:19pm On Aug 13, 2020
Paris Saint-Germain have registered their
interest in Manchester United striker Odion
Ighalo, according to reports.
Ighalo returned to the Premier League from
China when joining United on loan in January.
The former Watford striker has impressed in
patches, scoring five goals in cup competitions.
His form prompted United to extend his loan
until January 2021 . However, he has still not
started a Premier League game for them.
Now, according to Foot Mercato , PSG have
outlined Ighalo as a surprise potential target.
The French champions have released Edinson
Cavani, leaving them with just Mauro Icardi and
Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting as out-and-out
central striking options.
Hence, the report claims that PSG have a “very
real” interest in Ighalo. The Ligue 1 giants
admire the Nigerian for his experience, quality
and affordability.
Ighalo’s contract with parent club Shanghai
Shenhua expires in December 2021. Therefore,
his price tag will start to diminish over time.
That opportunity has led to PSG making their
first contacts with his agents. While he is not
the only target on their radar, they have opened
talks with his entourage.
The report does not make clear whether PSG
will wait until Ighalo’s loan at Man Utd is over,
or whether they want to interrupt that and strike
a deal early. However, Foot Mercato do say that
the French giants are showing signs that their
interest is “concrete”.

IGHALO THOUGHT MAN UTD
LINKS WERE A ‘JOKE’
If Ighalo was to move to PSG at some point, it
would be the second time in quick succession
that he sealed a surprise transfer.
Back in June, he admitted that even he could
not have foreseen his dream move to Old
Trafford.
“I thought it was a joke,” he told Sky Sports
News . “I was playing in Shanghai. That was
against me. Would a club as a big as United be
looking in China for a striker? That was against
me.
“My age. That was against me. There was a
pandemic in China. That was against me. I said
no, this is a joke.
“Later, when it got serious, I thought only when I
fly to Manchester will I believe it.”
