PSG do believe they can land the 26-year-old for less than his £173m clause.
Anthony Martial to Barcelona
Barcelona are reported to be the latest club to join the race for Manchester United forward Martial and the left-sided attacker looks to be on the verge of an exit from Old Trafford having fallen down the pecking order under Mourinho.
