Several Premier League teams are interested in signing AS Monaco defender Axel Disasi, but Manchester United ‘have the lead’ in that pursuit.
According to RMC Sport, the defense “will talk with the player very soon” about a transfer even though no firm offer has yet been made.
They say that given the Premier League’s growing interest in the French defender, his future is expected to be made clear soon.
The popular English defender from Monegasque, whose current deal runs until 2025, is being pursued by a number of Premier League powerhouse clubs, according RMC’s intelligence.
One of them is Manchester United, who have already informed the player about the initiative they are presenting and are ‘in the lead’ for his signature.
While there is no agreement in place, there is a plan to intensify efforts for the player since there is a feeling that everything around the defender should “now accelerate.”
This is so that Erik ten Hag, who ‘holds him in high esteem’, may get in touch with the player to explore a transfer to Old Trafford.
The Dutchman will need to act swiftly after falling behind Bayern Munich in the hunt for Kim Min-jae of Napoli, who was expected to sign with United before the German champions made a late push.
A repetition of it would not be well received, and it appears that both Ten Hag and Manchester United now intend to stand up to their alternative.
