Manchester United have opened talks with Valencia for Carlos Soler.
The Sun says United boss Jose Mourinho has moved swiftly for the Spain Under-21s star and wants a deal wrapped up for next season.
The Special One has Marouane Fellaini, Ander Herrera and Michael Carrick out of contract in the summer.
United may still agree fresh terms with their central midfielders and Soler, 20, is seen as a massive prospect.
But he is seen as a long-term contender to play alongside Paul Pogba and Nemanja Matic.
Soler has a buyout clause of £75 million but the Spaniards are set to accept a cash offer for their young star.
