MANCHESTER UNITED are reportedly targeting a January swoop for Real Madrid star Casemiro.
Diario Gol claim the Brazilian international is in talks to renew his contract with his current deal expiring in 2021.
Jose Mourinho is said to be a big fan of the 25-year-old for his ability on the ball as well as his strength and power.
But PSG are reportedly the team that are closest to signing Casemiro where he could link up with his international team-mates Neymar, Dani Alves and Thiago Silva.
Don Balon have even reported that the Red Devils are ready to him a top earner alongside Paul Pogba to lure him to the club.
However it will be extremely difficult to get Real to sell as boss Zinedine Zidane has made him one of his key midfielders.
He has featured in La Liga six times this season and made two appearances in the Champions League.
Mourinho is looking to add fresh talent to his squad when the January window opens and is prepared to splash the cash in order to sign a player he rates so highly.
