Manchester United are interested in PSG winger Lucas Moura.
The Mirror says United have now put their foot down by demanding at least £45m for Angel di Maria – and they also want more of the fee paid up front, which could stretch negotiations into next week.
PSG had originally booked a medical for Di Maria for Monday, but that now seems likely to be delayed.
The Old Trafford club are looking to reinvest the money they will receive quickly, and they have not given up hope of landing Barcelona forward Pedro, despite the Catalans’ reluctance to sell.
Interestingly, they have also asked PSG about the availability of their Brazilian star Lucas Moura, though the French club have given their 22-year-old winger a new long-term deal.
