PSG beat Man United to Goncalo Guedes signing after agreeing £25m deal with Benfica

French giants Paris Saint-Germain have agreed a £25m deal to sign Benfica winger Goncalo Guedes.

PSG have beaten off competition from Manchester United to clinch the deal for the 20-year-old Portuguese star.

Benfica are having to sell some of their biggest stars to solve a cash crisis.

Coach Unai Emery confirmed earlier today that the French champions are interested in a move Guedes.

Guedes, 20, has been linked with a move to Manchester United, having been extensively watched by the Red Devils during the past six months.

Emery said: "All good players are of interest to PSG and Guedes is one."

"We are working on him and one we have the opportunity to sign.

"He is a good player, capable of playing wide or in the middle. He is a player of the future who is going to grow a lot."

Guedes, who is represented by Jorge Mendes, is seen as one of the most highly-rated prospects in Portuguese football.

He was left out of Benfica's squad for the 4-0 win over Tondela at the weekend, due to negotiations over a potential exit.
