Man United have entered talks with Bayern Munich for midfielder Corentin Tolisso. The German side wants no less than £35m.

Take my money. If I was a manager and a player of Tolisso became available for between £31 and £35 million, I’d take him in a heartbeat. Man United are believed to be in talks for the Frenchman who is almost 6ft tall and a wonder to watch on the ball.

Not sure if he is playing for first-team keeps or is he a bench player at best? But you have to admit, this is either a dead giveaway for £31-£35m for a World Cup winner. Or on the other hand, they run a massive risk conceding he had a major injury setback that saw him make a couple of appearances in the 2018-2019 season.

As per reports, this comes as a bit of a surprise with United turning everybody’s attention towards Jadon Sancho and his possible arrival at the club. No one saw this transfer coming at all! The club is already far ahead in talks with the player’s entourage sand all parties involved want a switch to be made.

More from Manchester United

"Manchester United ‘are battling with Inter Milan to sign midfielder Corentin Tolisso’ from Bayern Munich with the France international expected to leave German giants when the season ends. Bayern Munich are reportedly ready to sell 25-year-old Corentin Tolisso and have attached a £31million priced tag to the World Cup winner."

The German powerhouse wants to free up money for their own business they want to conduct when the summer comes. Leroy Sane has been their main target and it will cost them big money to prize him away from Man City. Adding to this, there is more than one transfer the Bundesliga want to commit to, come next season. They definitely want to make funds available.

United only facing inter for Tolisso’s signature?

"Man United’s said to only have Inter Milan as competitors for his service. Well, if that’s the case United must make their move now We’ve seen what happened with Liverpool and Timo Werner when you sit on your backside too long. (Via: The Daily Mail)"

Normally there would be a handful of clubs in for a player of Corentin’s calibre, though, it’s only Inter that rally the English side for the bright player. Why is this? Well, the player wasn’t said to be available until yesterday.

This gives us more evidence to the fact they trying to loosen the pocket to make moves more suited for the Allianz Arena. If it is only the Italian side battling United for the midfielder, then he should be in the Premier League come next season.

Next. Chelsea players to keep an eye on. dark

From Lyon to Bayern, the man has certainly added value to whatever team he has been at. In 157 career matches, he has contributed with 29 goals and 19 assists. That’s a decent return for a player his age, who he is deployed from the middle of the pitch.
