Manchester United and Inter Milan are battling it out to sign Bayern Munich midfielder Corentin Tolisso.
The German champions have indicated that they are willing to part with the 25 year old, who they bought for £37 million from Ligue 1 side Lyon in 2017, and United and Inter head the queue for the French international.
Since signing for Bayern, Tolisso has played for the German side 58 times, scoring 14 goals for the Bavarian side, but he missed almost the whole of last season after picking up a cruciate ligament injury.
He has now fallen down the pecking order at the Allianz Arena and may not play for them again, with Bayern worrying that an injury could affect his chances of finding a buyer in the summer window.
Tolisso was part of the French squad that won the World Cup in 2018 in Russia, making several substitute appearances during that tournament.
