Monaco have just rejected a bid from Rennes of around €15million for Badiashile, according to RMC, but it could be that they’ll be faced with more offers from other top clubs.
Man Utd are mentioned as being in the running for the young defender’s signature, and it seems clear he could be a great fit in this exciting young side Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is putting together at Old Trafford.
