Hellas Verona defender Marash Kumbulla remains on the radar of Chelsea and Manchester United.
The 20-year-old Albanian international is hot property across Europe following his dominant performances at the back this season.
The Sun says reports in Italy suggest a whole host of clubs are vying for his signature including Inter Milan, Napoli and Lazio.
But it adds that the Premier League duo are also in competition in an attempt to bring him to England.
Kumbulla has been a vital part of Verona's impressive season that has seen them concede just 26 goals in 25 games.
Both Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Frank Lampard want to sign a new central defender in the summer and want to look towards the future with younger signings.
