Paris Saint-Germain are reportedly preparing to place a lucrative long-term contract on the table for Manchester United attacker Marcus Rashford.
The French champions are said to have met with the England international's brother and agent, Dwaine Rashford, earlier this month to discuss a possible switch to Paris.
PSG are determined to bring another forward to the club before the end of the summer transfer window, and it is understood that they have identified Rashford as their leading target.
"We want another striker to come in. With a busy schedule, we want arrivals. The club is working, I am in direct contact with Luis Campos," PSG boss Christophe Galtier told reporters on Thursday.
"Luis is in direct contact with our president. We must not make any mistakes. Will this player arrive? We don't know. It has to be a real plus."

Speaking ahead of Saturday's 4-0 defeat to Brentford in the Premier League, Man United head coach Erik ten Hag insisted that the club's academy product would not be leaving this summer.
"He is really important. You have seen from the first day I'm in [the club], I've been really pleased [with him]. Definitely, I don't want to lose him. He's in our plans and he will stay at Manchester United," the Dutchman told reporters.
However, Rashford only has another 12 months left to run on his contract, with the option of an additional year, and there have been claims that he is open to a fresh challenge in a bid to reignite this career.
A switch to PSG could also help the 24-year-old return to the England squad, with the player currently facing a battle to make the selection for the 2022 World Cup due to his recent struggles.
According to The Times, the French champions are planning a long-term contract offer for Rashford and are confident of bringing him to the club.

PSG have also set out how they plan to improve Rashford's game, with the Ligue 1 outfit confident that they can help him become a regular goalscorer once again.
Rashford struggled to make his mark for Man United last term, managing only five goals and two assists in 31 appearances, and he has also found it difficult in the early stages of the 2022-23 campaign.
The attacker has started both of his side's Premier League games this term against Brighton & Hove Albion and Brentford but has been unable to prevent the team from suffering back-to-back defeats.
Rashford has played the full 90 minutes in the two league encounters this term, including Saturday's 4-0 loss to Brentford, which left the Red Devils bottom of the Premier League table.
Man United, who are next in action against Liverpool on August 22, are allegedly currently in talks with Atletico Madrid over a possible deal for Spain international Alvaro Morata.
