On March 21st, The Sun in England first reported Ander Herrera is set to leave Manchester United in the summer and make a switch to Paris Saint-Germain.
Marca then joined the English press to confirm the interest from the Ligue 1 winners in the former Athletic Bilbao man.
It was reported that PSG are willing to offer him a three-year deal and a weekly salary of €173,000.
The midfielder’s contract at Old Trafford runs out after the end of the season and so far, and he’s not yet agreed a new deal. His current situation will allow him to sign a pre-contract agreement with another club outside England.
RMC Sport now echoes what was reported by the British and the Spanish press as they claim a source close to the 29-year-old has confirmed that he is in ‘advanced negotiations’ with Thomas Tuchel’s side for a four-year deal.
They say this has been ‘confirmed by sources close to the player’.
It was PSG sporting director Antero Henrique who suggested Herrera’s name to the ex-Borussia Dortmund manager.
Paris United, another website which covers PSG, now claims Henrique wants to close the deal quickly, for which a new meeting has been scheduled with Herrera’s agent Arturo Canales.

Herrera has been a key figure in Manchester United’s midfield since Ole Gunnar Solskjaer took charge at Old Trafford and losing him on a free transfer could be a big blow for the Red Devils.
