Late that night, El Chiringuito was the first to break the story.
Josep Pedrerol leaned in, voice sharp with excitement.
"Exclusive news—Valencia has received two official bids for Izan. PSG and Manchester United have made their moves. €85 million is on the table."
Cristóbal Soria smirked. "So where is Real Madrid?"
Pedrerol grinned. "They're waiting. But they can't wait much longer."
Meanwhile, Fabrizio Romano confirmed the development on Sky Sports.
"Manchester United and PSG have both submitted formal offers.
Valencia will now decide whether to accept or wait for a counter-offer from Real Madrid or Manchester City."

Pep Guardiola, back in Manchester, had just finished a training session when he was informed.
Txiki Begiristain's voice was urgent.
"PSG and United have submitted bids."
Guardiola sighed. "So, what do we do?"
Txiki was firm. "We need to act now. If we hesitate, he'll be gone."
