Arsenal and Manchester United lock horns for £42m-rated midfielder - report

Dejan Kulusevski Parma

Parma loanee Dejan Kulusevski has reportedly caught the eye of Arsenal and Manchester United.

Kulusevski is on loan from high-flying Serie A side Atalanta and is making quite the impression.

Originally from Sweden, Kulusevski moved to Italy in 2016 and came through the ranks at Atalanta.

Kulusevski sealed his loan move to Parma last summer after nobody took interest in a permanent move - despite his low £8.5m valuation.

Now, after a fast end to the year, the 19-year-old is reportedly valued at £42m and Atalanta will look to cash in next summer.

However, they aren't alone in their pursuit as it's reported that Serie A giants Juventus and Inter Milan also have serious interest in the player.

It's understood that Kulusevski has already been in contact with clubs regarding a move as they look to do a deal sooner rather than later.

Some suitors would rather come to an agreement before the tournament in case the player's value increases further.
