According to Duncan Castles, Man Utd have made an enquiry about Brighton midfielder Yves Bissouma.
Bissouma joined Brighton from Lille in 2018 and has impressed ever since. He has frequently been mentioned as a potential target for clubs of European stature. For example, when Graham Potter recently addressed his future, links with Liverpool and Tottenham were the most prominent.
Indeed, Castles confirms that Liverpool have also made a similar move, as have long-term admirers Arsenal. But Man Utd have entered the fray as well.
Castles said on the Transfer Window Podcast: “Along with those players we mentioned as options for Manchester United’s midfield, Bissouma is also being looked at by them.

“They know Bissouma has two years left of contract at Brighton and is keen to move to a higher-status club, keen to play European football.

“My information is that there are enquiries from Liverpool, United and Arsenal as to how much it would cost to sign him.”
However, the answer to those enquiries may not have been what the interested parties were hoping to hear. Although Bissouma’s contract situation means his value may begin to decrease, Brighton are under no immediate pressure to sell.
Castles added: “I think with Bissouma, it’s become a bit more complicated for the clubs bidding for him because Brighton are cash rich at the moment after the sale of Ben White and they do not need to take the money in order to reinvest it in the areas which they are targeting, which are centre-forward and left-back.

“I understand they’ve opened discussions with Bissouma about improving his salary and extending his contract with the idea of retaining him for at least one more season.”
Therefore, the chances of him moving north to Manchester is still in doubt.
