Manchester United has won the race for Memphis Depay after the player and his agent held successful talks with Coach Louis van Gaal over a deal worth £25m.
United and PSV have
confirmed the transfer and Depay, 21, will move to Old Trafford - pending a
medical - when the transfer window opens in June.
United said via the
club's official Twitter page: 'Manchester United has reached an agreement with
PSV Eindhoven & Memphis Depay for the player's transfer, subject to a
medical.
Manchester United have won the race to sign PSV star Memphis Depay in a deal worth £25million
“Pending the successful
completion of the medical, the deal will go through once the transfer window
opens in June.'
PSV boss, Philip Cocu,
announced the move to his squad on Thursday morning while Sporting director,
Marcel Brands, told PSV's official website: 'We are very proud of this upcoming
transfer. Memphis has gone through all the teams of the PSV youth academy and
has played an important part in us winning the league title this season.
PSV Eindhoven's Depay celebrates with the trophy after securing the Eredivisie championship last month
“He's a wonderful
product of our club. He'll make a good transition to a magnificent club in a
beautiful competition. We obviously lose fantastic player, who is of great
value to the team but we are very happy to grant him this move”.
Despite reports that the
player and his entourage had already visited United's Carrington training
complex for meetings with club officials, it is understood no meetings had
taken place.
United posted their
interest formally last month when executive vice chairman Ed Woodward
telephoned PSV Eindhoven.
