Manchester United want to sign Sporting Lisbon midfielder Bruno Fernandes, Sky Sports News understands.
A source in Portugal claims the player's agent travelled to the UK yesterday to sound out possible options, with Sporting hoping to get more than £50m for Fernandes.
Fernandes signed a five-year contract last summer with a release clause of £31m. If a club meets his release clause - but Sporting refuse to sell - Fernandes is due a £4.5m payment.
Sporting President Frederico Varandas says there have been talks with Fernandes about his future and is hopeful any deal for the Portugal midfielder will be the most expensive sale in the club's history.
Fernandes scored 32 goals in 50 appearances last season.
In terms of other midfield targets, United are also interested in signing Newcastle's Sean Longstaff.

Dybala would be lovely between Martial and Rashford if we played that formation where he uses Lingard there
Had a pretty poor year though, goal wise.
Non starter that one anyway, swap deals don't happen.

Didn’t you swap Mhki for Sanchez?

With the advent of increasingly large transfer fees I think we'll see more swap type deals in the future.
There have been a fair few high profile ones over the years anyway.

He's quality in the Portuguese league... Sensational. Hopefully translates well to the PL. He could play with Pogba or as a replacement. If this signing happens, i'll be quite excited.

i'll be honest I haven't seen much on him at all, id rather we went for tielemens if it was a choice between the two just because tielemens has had a season already here and looked pretty decent and by the looks of it would cost less

Sure... Cool thing to say. Quite the hip guy, aren't you!
Except I have a place in Portugal and have a lot of Portuguese friends who live for football.
