The 21-year-old is not a starter under José Mourinho, but has still collected two goals and three assists in 21 appearances across all competitions this season.

According to Di Marzio, however, Parma aren’t the only club interested in the versatile Norwegian attacker as West Ham have also joined the race to secure his signature.

Parma could even face competition for Roma, but the Giallorossi are currently focused on other targets.

The Giallorossi are close to reaching an agreement with Giacomo Raspadori and still hope to convince Manchester United to part ways with Joshua Zirkzee.

According to the report, Schjelderup remains an option for the Giallorossi if they fail to secure deals for their main targets.
