Manchester United are reportedly in talks with Lyon over Tanguy Ndombele as they look to steal a march on Tottenham.
It earlier emerged Spurs had lodged a £60million bid for the midfielder.
But Man United are attempting to move to the front of the lengthening queue, with Juventus also in discussions with the Ligue 1 side.
Paris Saint-Germain are also said to be talking to their French rivals about taking the 22-year-old to the Parc de Princes.
According to French journalist Julien Maynard, United are stepping up their efforts to make Ndombele their second signing of the summer after Daniel James.
Meanwhile, Mino Raiola has claimed Matthijs de Ligt is not necessarily on the brink of a move to PSG.
It was widely claimed the super agent was in the French capital to hold talks with sporting director Antero Henrique.
But Raiola has told ANSA: “This is a classic example of fake news.”
Meanwhile, according to reports in Portugal, Henrique is quitting his role at the Parc de Princes.
