Manchester United and Manchester City are set to lock horns over Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, the "?Daily Star report.
Aubameyang has been in sensational form for Borussia Dortmund over the past 12 months, grabbing 40 goals and seven assists in all competitions.
Sources close to the 26-year-old hitman indicate that he is ready for a new challenge, which has placed Pep Guardiola and Jose Mourinho on red alert.
The new managers of City and United are desperate to bolster their attacking options and both are preparing to launch £65m bids to land Dortmund's prized jewel.
They could face competition from Real Madrid for the Gabon international's signature, but it is being reported that their number 1 target is Robert Lewandowski.
Arsenal have also been keeping close tabs on Aubameyang, but they have decided to focus their efforts on snatching Jamie Vardy from Leicester's clutches.
Mourinho and Guardiola share a tense rivalry and the battle to capture Aubameyang signals the start of a new chapter.
The Sky Blues have already secured the services of his BVB team-mate Ilkay Gundogan and he could be tempted by the prospect of a reunion.
However, the pacey attacker may prefer to join the impending Old Trafford revolution as the Red Devils seek a return to the summit of English football.
