Manchester United have made a contract offer to unsettled Napoli striker Dries Mertens.
La Repubblica says United are desperate to steal the striker away from Napoli.
Mertens has been having the season of his life, firing 28 goals in 40 games for club and country this term.
United have offered Belgian Mertens a contract worth €4.7m [£4m] per season.
Napoli won't go higher than €3m [£2.6m] and the renewal is now at risk.
