Manchester United are keeping tabs on Paulo Dybala's situation at Juventus.
The Daily Star says Jose Mourinho knows United won't get him easy. Barcelona are keen too and they see him as a potential replacement for Neymar.
While Barca banked £200million for the Brazilian, they are still yet to fill the void and Dybala is a long-term target.
Bayern Munich are interested too but the secret to a United deal could already be in place.
United appointed Javier Ribalta as their head scout in the summer, who was lured to United from Juve.
He was head of scouting at the Italian giants and already has a close relationship with Dybala.
