Paris Saint-Germain are reportedly closing in on a deal for Manchester United misfit Angel di Maria, having missed out on the midfielder last summer.
Louis van Gaal splashed out £60million to bring Di Maria in from Real Madrid, but he has struggled in his first season in the Premier League.
And now French publication l'Equipe claim that the 26-year-old has become a priority for PSG, who could offer Gregory van der Wiel to United as part of the deal.
The Ligue 1 champions reached an agreement with the Argentina international at the beginning of the season, only to pull the plug on the deal because of Financial Fair Play regulations.
Those restrictions are still in place, with the Qatari-funded club capped with a transfer budget of around £42.5m this summer.
But l'Equipe report that PSG will look to get around that by offering Van der Wiel to United, and have kept in contact with Di Maria, even failing with a bid in the January transfer window.
Van Gaal is on the lookout for a right back, with Nathaniel Clyne and Dani Alves also options, and fellow Dutchman Van der Wiel may fit the bill.
Laurent Blanc's side may also raise funds by selling the likes of Yohan Cabaye, Ezequiel Lavezzi, Lucas Digne and Edinson Cavani, and are hoping to lure Di Maria to the Parc des Princes rather than the alternative, Wolfsburg's Kevin de Bruyne.
