PSG could hijack Manchester United’s £87million pursuit of Lazio star man Sergej Milinkovic-Savic.
Amid interest from Chelsea, Real Madrid and Juventus, the French champions are reportedly ready to make the first serious move for the Serbia midfielder.
The 25-year-old.s contract runs until 2024 so Serie A title challengers Lazio can hold out for their asking price of 100m euros.
But Gazzetta dello Sport claim PSG now top the queue of admirers despite United long monitoring the ex-Genk ace.
The Italian newspaper say PSG director Leonardo is especially keen on Milinkovic-Savic.
The 15-cap creative force has netted five goals in 30 games as Lazio enjoy one of their best seasons for many years.
PSG are looking to make the step up from domestic dominance to serious challengers for the Champions League.
Meanwhile, United chief Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has admitted he is looking for up to three top-class newcomers.
And although French World Cup winner Paul Pogba is expected to resume full training next week after an injury-hit campaign, Solskjaer knows the Real and Juve target might leave Old Trafford in the summer.
The Norwegian said: “Paul’s still working with the physios outside and he won’t be training with the first-team until next week.
“Then let’s see how long that will take. He needs time to get his football fitness back.”
And after beating neighbours City for the third time this term, 2-0 on Sunday, the Norwegian revealed: “We know we lack one, two, three players to be considered a title contender and some experience.
“We are improving. We are just going to start talking about going up the table, getting more points.”
