Manchester United have bid £35m for Dinamo Zagreb midfielder Dani Olmo, according to the Daily Mail.
Olmo starred at this summer's European Under-21 Championship, helping Spain win the tournament for a fifth time.
And the youngster's performances in Italy have brought him to the attention of a host of European clubs.
Chelsea, Liverpool, PSG, Inter, Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund are all keeping tabs on the playmaker.
