Paris Saint-Germain have reportedly moved ahead of several top European clubs, including Manchester United and Liverpool, in the race to sign RB Leipzig attacker Christopher Nkunku.
The 24-year-old is enjoying a prolific 2021-22 campaign in front of goal for the German outfit, scoring 27 goals and registering 17 assists in 40 appearances across all competitions.
Man United, Liverpool and Real Madrid are all believed to be interested in signing Nkunku, who could be available for around €75m (£63m).
However, Foot Mercato reports that PSG are determined to sign Nkunku this summer and they have opened talks with the France international's representatives over a potential transfer.
The report adds that PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi has identified the attacker as a priority target, especially if either Kylian Mbappe or Neymar leave the club in the summer.
Furthermore, Leipzig are keen to keep hold of Nkunku and they are prepared to offer him a bumper new contract, with his current deal expiring in June 2024.
Nkunku, who came through PSG's academy before joining Leipzig in 2019, has also attracted interest from Barcelona, Arsenal, Manchester City and Bayern Munich.
