Manchester United have reportedly expressed an interest in negotiating a potential €40million transfer move for Napoli midfielder Stanislav Lobotka.
The Slovakia international has shone during his time in Serie A, having previously also impressed at former club Celta Vigo in La Liga.
Could we now see Lobotka trying his luck in the Premier League? It seems Man Utd have the 30-year-old on their radar ahead of the summer.
That’s according to a report from Tuttomercatoweb, who also suggest that Paris Saint-Germain are keen on Lobotka after his impressive performances.
Although Lobotka has been a key player for Napoli, he’s not getting any younger and it seems the club are open to making a change in that area of the pitch.
This could be Napoli’s last chance to get any significant money for Lobotka, and it seems this has put Man Utd and PSG on alert, according to TMW’s report.

Should Manchester United sign Stanislav Lobotka?
Lobotka is undoubtedly a fine player, but MUFC surely need to be aiming for someone a bit younger if they are to successfully rebuild this struggling side.
Ruben Amorim’s demanding style of play will surely require high levels of fitness, and that could mean a different kind of profile from Lobotka.
At the same time, however, United need to be open to a variety of possibilities due to their poor performances this season, which could limit what they can do in the transfer market.

The Red Devils will be keen to build for the long term, but there can be exceptions to that rule, as they also won’t want a squad that’s too youthful…
