Manchester United are interested in signing Porto striker Mehdi Taremi as a cheaper alternative in their search for a new striker.
Erik ten Hag has made signing a new centre forward a top priority this summer but there is uncertainty over how much the club can spend, a situation further complicated by the takeover plans at Old Trafford.
Reports suggest United have somewhere between £100million and £150million to spend this summer with the club needing to comply with financial fair play rules.
The club are already committed to signing Mason Mount in a deal worth £55million plus £5m in add-ons while they are also in talks to sign goalkeeper Andre Onana from Inter Milan for £43m.
United have already shelved their interest in signing Harry Kane from Tottenham, aware the north London side will demand over £100m for a player in the final year of his contract.
Victor Osimhen is another admired at Old Trafford but Napoli are thought to value the Nigerian at £130m, again placing him out of United?s reach.
United are interested in Atalanta?s Rasmus Hojlund but reports in Portugal suggest United are also weighing up a bid for Porto star Taremi, who could be available for around £17m this summer.
