Paris Saint-Germain and Napoli could reportedly battle Tottenham Hotspur for the signature of Manchester United attacker Jadon Sancho during this summer's transfer window.
The 23-year-old missed a spell of the 2022-23 campaign due to off-the-field problems, but he still ended the season with 41 appearances in all competitions, scoring seven goals and contributing three assists.
The England international has largely found it difficult to impress for the Red Devils since his high-profile move from Borussia Dortmund in July 2021, though, and there have been suggestions that Man United would be willing to let him leave for around £60m this summer.
Tottenham have been credited with an interest in the former Manchester City youngster, and according to journalist Ben Jacobs, the North London club are keen on his signature.
However, Jacobs has claimed that Spurs are likely to face competition from PSG and Napoli, who have both sent scouts to watch him in action during the 2022-23 season.

"The Tottenham interest is real for sure," Jacobs told The United Stand. "My understanding is that Erik ten Hag was quite prepared to give Sancho time and as a consequence he's not at the top of the list in terms of outgoings, but money can talk.
"I think £50m or £60m would be the kind of fee which would give Man Utd a decision to be made, especially if they have other incomings waiting.
"That one is a possibility, nothing is advanced at this point to my understanding, but the Tottenham interest is genuine. I would also add a couple of European clubs to the list that have looked at Sancho. One is PSG and the other is Napoli.
"So there's two clubs there that will both have Champions League football next season that have sent scouts to watch the player and have discussed him internally as well."

Sancho scored six goals and registered three assists in 26 Premier League appearances during the 2022-23 campaign, as the Red Devils finished third in the table.
However, he found it difficult to impress in the cup competitions, only scoring once in 15 games in the Europa League, FA Cup and EFL Cup in 2022-23.
Since arriving at Old Trafford from Dortmund, the attacker has made 79 appearances for Man United, scoring 12 goals and registering six assists in the process.
However, the Englishman starred during his time in German football, managing 50 goals and 64 assists in 137 appearances in all competitions for BVB.
Man United are not believed to be actively looking to sell Sancho this summer, but a big-money exit would, in theory, give them more funds to put towards the signing of a new number nine.
