Several top Premier League and European sides are looking at Lille midfielder Boubakary Soumare.
The France U21 international is likely to leave in the January transfer window, per Sky Sports.
Lille are hoping to cause an auction that would raise his selling price.
The likes of Manchester United, Real Madrid, Valencia, Arsenal, and Chelsea want Soumare.
A box-to-box midfielder with an eye for goal, Soumare has two and a half years left on his Lille deal.
He has impressed in Ligue 1 and the Champions League this season.
United are among the clubs most desperate for a central midfielder, but Soumare may be wary of joining a team that is unlikely to be in the Champions League next season.
