Rasmus Hojlund has been verbally offered by Manchester United to Atalanta for €50 million (£42.8 million; $55.4 million) plus €10 million in add-ons.
The 20-year-old’s SerieA club is seeking more than €70 million for him, but negotiations are ongoing with the hope that an agreement will be reached.
The Athletic earlier this month reported that Man United and the forward had reached preliminary personal terms.
Hojlund is the top target for United, but other players like Randal Kolo Muani of Eintracht Frankfurt and Mohammed Kudus of Ajax are also being considered.
Chelsea, United’s Premier League rivals, are also considering a move for Kudus, 22.

Rasmus Hojlund has made it clear that he wants to leave Atalanta, and Ligue 1 champions Paris Saint-Germain are also interested in signing him.
According to viral reports, PSG offered higher salary to Hojlund but the Denmark youngster has rejected the Ligue 1 side in favor of a move to Old Trafford instead.
Erik ten Hag who is desperate to have a new striker in a recent interviewed pointed out that the club was ready to do everything possible to get their target.
According to ten Hag, Man United know their target and they remain focus on getting the forward to be soon integrated into the squad ahead of the new anticipated season.
Relatively, the captaincy of Manchester United has been permanently transferred from Harry Maguire to Bruno Fernandes by manager Erik Ten Hag.
Nearly three years ago, Bruno Fernandes played against Paris Saint-Germain while first donning the armband. Fernandes was startled and his eyebrow arched when Ole Gunnar Solskjaer announced his promotion.
The only time Fernandes showed signs of trepidation over the honor was then. He has served as Manchester United’s de facto captain for almost a year and played a key role in their comeback.
