PSG have offered Manchester United a solution in their pursuit of a new striker after Ruben Amorim missed out on his top transfer target.
Amorim wanted to welcome Liam Delap to Old Trafford after his breakthrough season in the Premier League but the Ipswich Town star has chosen to join Chelsea instead.
Delap’s decision has caused Manchester United to look elsewhere and they have been linked with Viktor Gyokeres, Benjamin Sesko and Hugo Ekitike.
United are also considering an offer from Paris Saint-Germain to bring Portugal forward Goncalo Ramos to the Theatre of Dreams.
According to the Daily Mail, intermediaries have given Amorim the chance to sign Ramos this summer after he was deemed surplus to requirements by PSG boss Luis Enrique.

Paris Saint-Germain spent around £60m to sign the 23-year-old from Benfica in 2023, beating the likes of Manchester United and Arsenal to a deal.
It was reported at the time that Bruno Fernandes, now the United captain, was keen for his compatriot to arrive at the club.

Ramos scored 14 goals during his first season in Paris and another 18 this term as Enrique’s side won a stunning treble, lifting the first ever Champions League trophy and dominating in Ligue 1.
But he has struggled for starts ever seen arriving from Benfica – coming on as an 84th-minute substitute in the Champions League final – and has been put up for sale this summer.
Despite being behind Cristiano Ronaldo in the pecking order, Ramos has also shown his potential for Portugal, scoring nine goals in 15 games and bagging a World Cup hat-trick in Qatar.

At 23, Ramos certainly fits the profile of players Manchester United are keen to sign this summer, having already secured a deal for Matheus Cunha and in talks with Bryan Mbeumo.
Gyokeres is another option for the striker position and enjoyed playing under Amorim before he left Sporting Lisbon to take over at Old Trafford.
But the Swedish No. 9 has offers from Champions League clubs so United’s failure to qualify for any European football could prove costly.
Man Utd have ‘clear and ambitious’ plan for summer window
Manchester United have also been linked with Jean-Philippe Mateta, who is leaning towards staying at Crystal Palace, and Aleksandar Mitrovic, who has scored 68 goals in 79 games in Saudi Arabia.
Last week, Old Trafford CEO Omar Berrada insisted the club have a ‘clear and ambitious’ plan in regards to this summer’s transfer window.
‘I can’t talk about specifics but I can say we have been planning for many months now,’ Berrada told MUTV. ‘We were ready for all the different scenarios and now know what we need to do.
‘We have a very clear idea where we need to invest in the squad to improve. So Jason [Wilcox], his team and Ruben [Amorim] have been in talks, as I said, for many months.
‘Now it’s a question of executing that plan and doing it in a way that is prudent but, at the same time, with ambition.’
Manchester United are desperately trying to bolster Amorim’s squad following a season in which they finished just 15th in the Premier League.
Amorim has around £100m to spend at this stage but that figure will go up following player sales, with Alejandro Garnacho, Jadon Sancho, Marcus Rashford and Antony all set to be moved on.
