WHAT HAPPENED?
United won the race for Enzo Kana-Biyik’s signature ahead of PSG, Chelsea and Monaco. The Red Devils have finalized the deal and the player has already travelled to England as he waits to sign the contract. Kana-Biyik will sign a long-term deal until 2030. The player will undergo a medical on Thursday.
THE BIGGER PICTURE
The signing of Kana-Biyik highlights Manchester United’s focus on investing in young talents to develop the squad’s future. Paolo Maldini’s side have managed to beat the likes of PSG to sign the player. The Parisian club pushed hard particularly for Kana-Biyik’s signature as his brothers appeared in their academy set-up. The English club have been able to beat the Parisian club to an academy talent before as they signed Mahamadou Sangare from PSG in the last transfer window.
WHAT NEXT FOR ENZO KANA-BIYIK?
It is likely that after Kana-Biyik joins the Red Devils, the player will head out on loan to FC Lausanne-Sport, another club owned by INEOS, to develop further before being incorporated to the Manchester United first-team.
