Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain are all holding talks with the representatives of Monaco midfielder Tiemoue Bakayoko, according to French radio station RMC.
Bakayoko has impressed with his performances at the Stade Louis II this season as Monaco marched to the Ligue 1 title and also reached the semi-final stage of the Champions League.
Just 22 years old, Bakayoko is now one of the hottest properties in the transfer market, with a number of Europe's elite clubs queuing up to steal him away from Monaco.
Talks with the player's agents have already begun with Chelsea, Manchester United, Liverpool and PSG all taking the time to keep in regular contact with those who manage Bakayoko's affairs.
It is claimed that two of the four clubs have made Bakayoko a priority target – Chelsea and Manchester United.
