Spanish news outlet Marca has reported that the Spanish champions have had their first bid of €10m (£8.3m) rejected as they look to prise him away from Ligue 1, months before his current deal is up with an extension unlikely.
The report says Newcastle are among the interested parties from the Premier League, but that United have positioned themselves 'best' in the pursuit of the midfielder.
Meanwhile, Paris Saint-Germain have made Paul Pogba their summer priority as they look to strengthen their midfield with the soon-to-be free agent.
Pogba looks likely to see out the remainder of his contract at Old Trafford before moving elsewhere.
His former club Juventus and Real Madrid are among clubs said to be eyeing a move for the World Cup winner.
L'Equipe say the Parisiens are determined to acquire Pogba in the summer and are emerging as favourites to sign the 28-year-old.
The report explains that they have already been in contact with his agent Mino Raiola after January sparked the beginning of pre-contract negotiations for clubs abroad.
