The player in question is Denzel Dumfries of Inter Milan, who was linked with Chelsea and more clubs during the winter window.
Dumfries featured in Qatar for the World Cup and shone on a number of occasions, including in the last-16 vs the USA.
He scored one and provided two assists from right-wing-back as the Netherlands saw off the USA by three goals to one.
As a result, he looked like he would be a decent signing for Chelsea amid their troubles at right-back.
However, Chelsea did not sign the Dutchman and have now fallen behind in the race to land him.
It now looks like Manchester United are more likely to sign the Netherlands international.
It is stated that Inter Milan have financial difficulties, have to raise funds and could accept a fee of around £50m.
Dumfries’ signing would likely mean the sale of Aaron Wan-Bissaka in the summer as well.
