Manchester United are favourites to sign Carlos Soler.
According to a report in the Daily Star the Valencia midfielder is likely to be on his way to Old Trafford at the end of the season.
Soler has made a big impact after getting his chance at Valencia with his form drawing attention from a number of clubs despite just breaking through this season.
The 20-year-old is a client of super agent Jorge Mendes who also looks after the interests of Jose Mourinho.
After having a season to assess the squad that he inherited Mourinho is expected to be one of the biggest players in the summer transfer market.
United’s academy system has struggled in recent seasons to develop players with Mourinho keen to balance his squad with younger players.
Soler fits the bill on most counts with Valencia unable to match the wages on offer from Manchester United plus a £25m transfer fee.
