Manchester United are eyeing up a move for Zion Suzuki from Parma.
The 23-year-old Japanese goalkeeper is a target for Aston Villa as well. According to SportsBoom, the keeper could command a premium this summer due to his contract length. He is under contract with Parma until 2029.
Man United could use Zion Suzuki
Andre Onana and Altay Bayindir will depart Manchester United in the summer, and the club needs to replace them. Suzuki could be the ideal alternative, and he could compete with Senne Lammens for the starting spot. The Belgian has been outstanding for Manchester United since joining the club, but he needs more competition. Suzuki could be a solid long-term addition. The two young keepers could push each other for the starting spot and help Manchester United improve as a team.
It remains to be seen whether Manchester United can agree on a reasonable deal for him.

Can Man United convince Suzuki?
Meanwhile, Aston Villa are keen on him as a replacement for Emiliano MartÃnez. Both clubs will be able to offer him Champions League football next season, and the move could come down to who can guarantee him regular game time.
Suzuki will not want to sit on the bench next season. He is a young player with great potential and could develop into a top-class player with the right guidance.
Manchester United are unlikely to drop Lammens after an impressive debut campaign, and it could be difficult for them to convince the Japanese star to join the club.
They have more resources than Aston Villa, but they will also need to agree a deal with the 23-year-old. It remains to be seen how the situation develops.
