Hey guys welcome back on the channel Fabrizio Romano here as always to bring you behind the scenes of the transfer market and today guys we have a story behind the scenes. It's about Manchester United and one of the best talents around in Europe Cody Gakpo who is doing absolutely fantastic with PSV Eindhoven player of the month for two consecutive months September and October. He's already performing at top level in November he will be at the World Cup with the Dutch national team. Cody Gakpo, May United, what happened? Let's jump into it together. And so guys probably you remember that during the summer I told you about the interest, strong interest of Manchester United for Cody Gakpo. He's always been one of the players they had in the list. The priority was Anthony and this is why they decided to go all in for Anthony spending 100 million euros on a Brazilian star from Ajax but Cody Gakpo was in the list. They had direct contacts with the agents of Cody Gakpo. The agents of Cody are the same agents of Erik ten Hag and so the relationship is excellent but now we have one more secret. Marcel Brentz, director of football of PSV Eindhoven, revealed speaking to ESPN that he had a meeting, they had a during the summer. I can tell you that it was in August that meeting between PSV and May United and Marcel Brentz added that Manchester United were informed by PSV that they wanted 50 million euros package for Cody Gakpo. I say package because it was with Ed Owens included. It was not 50 million euros upfront or cash of course but it was with Ed Owens included. Manchester United were really interested. They confirmed their interest but then they never made an official bid. It was confirmed by Marcel Brentz in this interview. He said they never returned with an official bid but they had this meeting, this secret meeting and it shows how interested they were and they are in Cody Gakpo. I say they are because Manchester United are still following Gakpo. They consider him a top talent, a really important player. Marcel Brentz in his interview also said that Leeds in the final days of the window wanted to sign Cody Gakpo but there was no total agreement between all the parties and so this is why it collapsed but with Manchester United the situation now is pretty clear.

They want to return in the race for Cody Gakpo but first of all PSV hope to keep the player until the end of the season and also now for Cody Gakpo what I'm told is that he's focusing on different kind of clubs and so top top European clubs because now Manchester United remain in the race for Gakpo. They are still following him but also there are other clubs not just in England but also in other countries following Cody Gakpo. So now the race is open. Manchester United had the chance to sign him for a bit less than 50 million euros and don't include it but now the situation is going to be different. They are still following him but that secret meeting shows how interested they were and how interested they still are in Cody Gakpo.
