Manchester United are competing with Manchester City and Juventus to sign Paris Saint-Germain goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma, according to reports in France.
Donnarumma has just finished his fourth season with PSG, helping the club win the French league and cup double as well as the Champions League.
However, the Italy international has just a year remaining on his contract with PSG and has failed to reach an agreement over a new deal.
According to L’Equipe, PSG have now taken ‘concrete steps’ to sign Lille goalkeeper Lucas Chevalier, who is viewed as a long-term successor for Donnarumma.
The report adds that Lille will demand a €40 million (£35m) transfer fee for Chevalier, which PSG are happy to pay.

Lille are said to be resigned to losing Chevalier before the end of the summer transfer window, which throws Donnarumma’s future at PSG in doubt.
Donnarumma, meanwhile, has privately discussed the idea of leaving PSG and has attracted interest from United, City, Juventus and Galatasaray.
Speaking earlier this year, Donnarumma made it clear that he wanted to sign a new deal with PSG.
‘There are so many rumours. The truth is that I feel good here and that everyone likes me and holds me in esteem,’ the 26-year-old told Sky Italia.
‘I am feeling very good, settled and my priority is to extend [my contract] here.’
United are in the market for a new goalkeeper due to Andre Onana’s inconsistent performances in his two seasons at the club. Ruben Amorim’s side have already failed with an attempt to sign Aston Villa goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez on loan.
City, meanwhile, are set to re-sign James Trafford for £27m, two years after he left to join Burnley.
