Manchester United are also believed to be in the race for the 24-year-old, who received plaudits following his performances at the World Cup last year, in which he was crowned a world champion.
Ten Hag’s hands are tied
However, frustrations are growing at Old Trafford as Erik ten Hag currently has his hands tied regarding transfers. United’s takeover and sale process is yet to reach a conclusion despite all parties submitting their third and final bids almost one week ago.
This means that the manager is currently unaware of his transfer budget for the summer transfer window, one which will be absolutely pivotal for strengthening the squad as they look to return to Champions League football and competing for the league title.
The Glazer family are seemingly yet to pick a suitor to take the reins of England’s most successful club or decide if they even want to accept a majority buyout.
