Manchester United are studying a potential loan offer for 20-year-old French defender El Chadaille Bitshiabu that would include a purchase option. The club is currently focused on the succession of Ruben Amorim. The defender is the subject of interest from multiple clubs, with Bayer Leverkusen also considering a similar loan-to-buy proposal. Competition also comes from France, where Olympique Lyonnais and AS Monaco are considering loan offers without a purchase option.
A potential move is linked to the player's limited playing time since arriving in Germany in the summer of 2023.

His contract with the German club runs until 2029. According to Transfermarkt, his current market value is €15.00m. RB Leipzig signed him from PSG for a fee of €15 million.
