Manchester United have reportedly been informed that Monaco will seek a £40m fee to part ways with Axel Disasi this summer.
The Red Devils are keen to bolster their backline this summer with several of their out-of-favour defenders set to leave the club.
Harry Maguire has lost his place in the Man United starting lineup following the arrival of Lisandro Martinez last summer.
Despite having a contract until 2025 with an option for a further year, Maguire could depart in search of regular playing time.
Victor Lindelof may also leave after falling down the pecking order, while Phil Jones, Eric Bailly and Axel Tuanzebe are not part of Erik ten Hag's plans for next season.

The Red Devils have identified Disasi as a potential summer target after being impressed by his performances for Monaco this term.
A recent report claimed that the 20-time English champions are leading the race to secure his signature ahead of Manchester City and Chelsea.
The France international has two years left on his current contract, but Monaco are open to selling the defender at the right price.
According to Football Insider, Man United have been made aware that it will take a £40m bid to secure Disasi's services.

The report also claims that the Red Devils view Disasi as one of their top defensive targets alongside Napoli centre-back Kim Min-jae.
Disasi has played an integral role in Monaco's side this season, having made 42 appearances across all competitions, contributing six goals and four assists.
The 25-year-old has also started 30 of Monaco's 31 league games this term, helping his side move up to fourth place in the Ligue 1 table.
Man United will be in Europa League action on Thursday evening when they face Sevilla in the second leg of their quarter-final tie.
