English newspapers claim that Manchester United are ready to pay the €28m release clause for Napoli striker Dries Mertens.
The 30-year-old already combines very well with fellow Belgium international Romelu Lukaku and could recreate that partnership at Old Trafford.
According to both The Sun and The Daily Express, Jose Mourinho has his sights trained on Mertens for a summer swoop.
There is a release clause in his contract, valid only for clubs outside Italy, worth an affordable €28m (approximately £25m).

There is a release clause in his contract, valid only for clubs outside Italy, worth an affordable €28m (approximately £25m).
He had resisted leaving earlier, as he wanted to continue playing as a centre-forward rather than his previous role as a winger.
Mertens was transformed into a very effective striker by Coach Maurizio Sarri in 2016, scoring 45 goals in his last two Serie A seasons.
