Euro Paper Talk: Man Utd have ‘offer on table’ for Barca midfielder

Manchester United have an offer on the table to land a Barcelona midfielder this summer, while Tottenham and Leicester are chasing a centre-back with an £80m release clause, according to Friday’s Euro Paper Talk.

BARCA STARLET ON UNITED RADAR

Barcelona midfielder Ilaix Moriba reportedly has offers from Manchester United and RB Leipzig on the table ahead of a potential summer switch.

The 18-year-old will be out of contract in 2022, but with no president in place no new deal talks have yet taken place.

To that ened, Mundo Deportivo states that both United and Leipzig are looking to take advantage of that situation.

The report adds that the duo have approached Moriba’s agency, Stellar Group, to open talks over a possible transfer.

The Red Devils are looking to have a stronger core of younger players at the club. They snapped up Amad Diallo and Facundo Pellistri last summer and are keen for Moriba to join them.

The talented midfielder made his senior Barca debut in January in the Copa del Rey against Cornella. He has since gone on to make three more appearances and came on in two victories against Sevilla last week.

Despite still be listed as a ‘B team’ player, Diaro Sport states that he has been officially promoted to the first team for next season.

'Woodward bullish about Utd progress'

Sky Sports reporter James Cooper says Manchester United chief executive Ed Woodward is 'bullish' about the club's progress both on and off the pitch after the release of their second quarter fiscal results.

The next president of Barca is likely to make contract talks a major priority. However, while no one is in place, that leaves other clubs to try and pursue a deal.

As for the player himself, he would prefer to stay in Catalonia for now – having come through the youth system with another United target Ansu Fati.
