Matthijs de Ligt is keen to move to Manchester United, amid interest from the club, according to Sky in Germany.
United have held initial talks with Bayern Munich to explore the conditions of a potential deal for the Netherlands international.
Erik ten Hag, who coached De Ligt at Ajax, wants the 24-year-old as part of his squad at Old Trafford next season.
Sky in Germany have also reported that Bayern's valuation is €50m (£42.4m), plus add-ons.
United retain an interest in England defender Jarrad Branthwaite but will only go back in for the player if Everton are willing to come down in their asking price.
It's understood Everton do not want, or need, to sell.
Evans in talks with Man Utd over new one-year deal
Meanwhile, Talks are ongoing between Manchester United and defender Jonny Evans over a new one-year contract.
The 36-year-old made 23 Premier League appearances for United last season - the most of any centre-half at the club.
The Northern Irishman re-joined United on a one-year deal last summer.

This guy is not what Man United need right now, he's just desperate because he has no place in the Bayern Munich and his national teams. He rejected United even when they were in the CL and went to Juventus, ask yourself what has changed now. He was overhyped and now the reality is facing him. If this is the kind of players United are scouting even with their new staffs, then nothing has changed.
EtH once coached his before and brought him to limelight while at Ajax. Another ex player of EtH. This is a joke.
