Monaco midfielder Youssouf Fofana has reportedly been informed he can leave the club this summer if the right offer comes in.
The 25-year-old French international has been linked with Aston Villa and Newcastle United, but Manchester United are also reportedly keeping tabs on the midfielder.
With just a year left on his contract, Fofana could be available for a bargain price. United see him as a potential replacement for Casemiro, given his powerful and athletic style of play.
As the summer transfer window approaches, several Premier League clubs are closely monitoring Fofana’s situation, anticipating a competitive bid for his services.
Youssouf Fofana said: “My future? I have spoken about it with the hierarchy, it isn’t a secret. We had exchanges and they agreed to accompany me in this new stage.
“If it (a move) doesn’t happen, I still have a year left and I will be happy to stay.
“We were in agreement that we would accompany each other in this process in which everyone should be a winner, be it me or the club.”
