Jadon Sancho's situation at Manchester United is reportedly being monitored by one of Europe's biggest teams ahead of the January transfer window.
The England winger has exiled from the first team after falling out with manager Erik ten Hag before the international break.
Sancho accused his manager of using him as a scapegoat after the loss to Arsenal after he was left out of the squad.

Ten Hag claimed that Sancho's levels at training were not up to standard, which the player himself denied in a statement, which has been taken down.
With the player reportedly unwilling to apologise to Ten Hag, he has now been linked with a departure in the January transfer window.
Spanish publication SPORT have reported that FC Barcelona are now keeping tabs on the England winger's situation and could make a move in January.
Ten Hag recently defended his disciplinary measures this week after the news of Sancho's situation.
"It's about team construction, the group dynamic, but it's about the team, the team is above everything else," Ten Hag said, as per Sky Sports.
"In that team, anyone plays their role and anyone is different. There are different characters and you have to manage those characters. But the team is always above everything else.
"The club asked me, because there was no good culture before I entered last season, to set some standards. So it's my job to control the standards.
"Of course, it's never been someone making one mistake, it's a whole process before you come to a certain outcome about strict lines. Staff, players, or whoever, if there is a structure to cross lines, you have to be strong, absolutely."
