Manchester United are also interested in signing Bayern Munich midfielder Leon Goretzka, according to Florian Plettenberg.
The Red Devils are aiming to bolster their midfield with another signing next year and they have been linked with many names.
Atalanta's Ederson has been highlighted as a target and it is now claimed that they could swoop for the services of Goretzka too.
Goretzka has fallen down the pecking order at Bayern this campaign, but he remains happy to fight for his place at the moment.
However, the Bundesliga giants are prepared to consider his departure in order to recoup funds for the signing of Florian Wirtz.
The Bayer Leverkusen star is expected to pursue a new challenge next summer and Bayern are determined to land him.
Goretzka's wages could be a huge concern for any European club.
He is currently on a £208,000 per week deal and it remains to be seen whether United are prepared to pay such a salary.
The German will be turning 30 in February next year and United may not sign him unless he is willing to accept a pay-cut.
