Manchester United are looking towards Russia for defensive reinforcement, and are considering a move for CSKA Moscow's Serbian defender Uros Cosic.
Rated by his club as being better than fellow-countryman Nemanja Vidic, the 17-year-old could move to Old Trafford next year, according to The Daily Mirror.
However, CSKA are desperate to hang onto the youngster and have even tried to enlist the support of Kremlin president Dmitry Medvedev in a bid to grant Cosic Russian citizenship.
"I must stress that we would like to keep Cosic," said CSKA president Yevgeni Giner.
"We even offered him Russian citizenship. It now depends upon the President Medvedev whether it is granted or not.
"I have not seen such a great central defender before, not to mention that he is only 17.
"But Manchester United would also love to have him.
"They have already made several attempts to approach me about him, asking if I was ready to negotiate.
"They can see - the boy is going to grow into a bigger star than Vidic."
