Sky Sports Germany are reporting that Manchester United have made contact with the player’s agent and an offer of up to €60m is expected next week.

Ralf Rangnick has endorsed the signing of Nkunku, who made his senior debut for France during March’s international break and the transfer has been backed by Erik ten Hag.

Leipzig are keen to retain the forward and are prepared to offer a new deal with the inclusion of a release clause, in a bid to keep Nkunku at the Red Bull Arena for a further season.
