The 28-year-old Senegal international scored 20 goals in all competitions last season, helping Crystal Palace win the UEFA Conference League, where he was named Player of the Tournament.

Manchester United sees Sarr as a versatile attacker who can play across the frontline, especially with Joshua Zirkzee expected to leave and Marcus Rashford's future uncertain.

Crystal Palace is likely to demand a fee more than triple their initial investment of under £15 million from 2024.

Juventus is also monitoring the forward.

Leao has recorded 80 goals and 65 assists in 291 appearances for AC Milan, reaching double figures in each of his last five seasons.
