France international Ndombele has emerged as one of Europe’s top midfield prospects after some incredible displays for Lyon.

Man United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is a big fan and would like to complete a deal this summer, particularly with Ander Herrera’s future uncertain.

But he now faces stiff competition from Real, who are said to no longer be interested in Red Devils star Paul Pogba.

Ndombele is apparently available for £68million, which puts him within Real’s price bracket.

Manchester City are also keeping tabs on the talented 22-year-old.

While there is interest from Juventus and rivals Paris Saint-Germain too.

Lyon have already admitted they will sell two big names this summer, and have no problem dealing with Ligue 1 competitors PSG.

President Jean-Michel Aulas said: “We will only let go of one or maybe two players this summer.

“I don’t know which one yet, because I think a lot of them will have interest.

“(PSG?) It wouldn’t be any problem, I would be proud of it. If PSG wants to buy Ndombele there is no problem.

“There is no unhealthy quarrel with the PSG leaders. Nasser Al Khelaifi is a loyal and brilliant man whom I admire.”
