Manchester United, Arsenal 'to battle for £42m Dejan Kulusevski'

Manchester United and Arsenal are reportedly preparing to lock horns for the signature of Swedish teenager Dejan Kulusevski in next summer's transfer window.

The 19-year-old is contracted to Atalanta BC but is currently on loan with Parma, where he has registered three goals and five assists in 15 Serie A appearances during the 2019-20 campaign.

As it stands, the Sweden international will spend the season with Parma before returning to his parent club, where he has a contract until the summer of 2023.

However, according to The Sun, Premier League duo United and Arsenal are closely monitoring the teenager's form with the pair both considering offers at the end of the season.

The report claims that Atalanta would be prepared to sell Kulusevski next summer despite his impressive form, although the Italian club would demand a fee in the region of £42m before sanctioning a sale.

Juventus and Inter Milan are also believed to be interested in the former Brommapojkarna youngster.
