Manchester United could sign Remy Cabella from Montpellier

Remy Cabella

According to Montpellier president Louis Nicollin, the club’s playmaker Remy Cabella could sign for Manchester United as early as the winter transfer window in January.

The player once valued at a farcical price of £100m by the club could be available for just €18 million (approximately £14m).

“If they give us €17 million, we’ll see,” Nicollin said.

“We have a deal with him that he leaves in June, not January. But everything can be negotiated, particularly with such a good little one.”

The 23-year-old is one of Ligue 1‘s brightest talents and has already scored five goals while grabbing two assists this season. He generally plays as a central attacking midfielder for Montpellier.

When asked about a possible departure from the club, Cabella said, “A departure can always happen in either January or next summer – of course you think about it.

“But I belong to a team, and for the moment I’m 100 percent focused on Montpellier. It’s still too soon to talk about it.”
