According to reports, Manchester United has taken a step to sign goalkeeper Joan Garcia.
The Red Devils could decide this summer to cash in Andre Onana in the midst of interest from Saudi Arab parties.
United's No1 has destroyed another season by mistakes, but he wants to stay and fight for his place under Ruben Amorim.
Espanyol keeper Garcia, however, has emerged as the possible replacement of Onana.
Reports in Spain claim that United “made an approach” to “seduce” the 23-year-old to move to Old Trafford before making an official offer.
Garcia would have a release clause of £ 21 million that will increase to £ 25 million by the end of the summer transfer window.
Although that figure will increase by £ 4.25 million, he must win his first senior cap for Spain.
Garcia, who last year an Olympic gold medal with his nation on the Parisian games, is one of Laliga's best young talents.
He became the most important man of Espanyol during the second half of the last term, and helped them to win promotion to the Top-Flight and to take their player of the seasonal prize home.
Garcia continued to impress this campaign and held seven clean sheets in 32 races.
He won two Laliga Save of the Month Awards and he produced a man of the match performance because they shocked Real Madrid 1-0 in February.
Arsenal and the holders of the Champions League also keep an eye on the stop, but reports about interest from Bayern Munich are supposedly incorrect.
Espanyol -Chef Fran Garagarza has not excluded Garcia's departure and said earlier this year: “There is a lot of noise but nothing happens.
“There is no sturdy movement as there was in the previous window.
“There can be movements because he is a goalkeeper at the highest level, but we are calm and above all, the child is very calm.”
In the meantime, United is also linked to Porto NO1 Diogo Costa.
But bitter rivals Manchester City go into diving after Ineos Chiefs have been put off by his £ 64 million release clause.
Ederson has only left his contract for a year and is seduced by a lucrative move to Saudi Aarabia.
