Lyon striker Moussa Dembele is back on Manchester United’s radar
According to rumours, with Edinson Cavani and Jesse Lingard out of contract, United are likely to make changes to their front line.
Marcus Rashford’s future is becoming increasingly uncertain as he enters the final year of his contract, while Cristiano Ronaldo and Anthony Martial are also considering leaving.
Dembele began his career with Celtic as a youth before going to Lyon two years later.
If Lyon decides he is unlikely to prolong his stay, the 25-year-old may be available for as low as £25 million. Memphis Depay, a free agent, has already left Lyon, as has defender Jason.
They would be anxious to prevent a similar fate for Dembele, who has nine goals in 19 league appearances this season, five of which have come in his past seven.
Dembele has Champions League experience, having scored twice in Lyon’s quarter-final triumph over Manchester City in 2020, and he also assisted in their 1-0 Europa League win over Porto on Wednesday night.
He is familiar with the English game, having previously played for Fulham. Indeed, his time there qualifies him as a homegrown player if he joins an English team.
His current contract expires in 2023, thus Lyon risk losing him as a free agent if they cannot agree on fresh terms.
