Paper Talk: Liverpool, Spurs learn sky-high price for target; new Fellaini link

Barcelona and Monaco are weighing up moves for two Manchester United men, while Manchester City have lined up a club-record summer swoop on Real Madrid, according to Tuesday’s newspapers.

 

BARCELONA CONSIDER LUKE SHAW RAID

Barcelona are eyeing a shock swoop for Luke Shaw following his bust-up with Jose Mourinho.

That’s according to the Daily Mirror, who believe the Spanish giants could turn to the struggling Manchester United star in their hunt for a new left-back.

Shaw is refusing to sign a new deal at Old Trafford amid claims he feels bullied by Mourinho. As things stand, the player currently has just 12 months left to run on and could be available for a relatively-modest fee this summer.

And the Mirror believes that has alerted Barca, who feel Shaw could be a good value addition and are weighing up a summer move.

It’s suggested Barca want Shaw to replace Lucas Digne, who has failed to impress since signing from PSG and compete with regular left-back Jordi Alba.

Shaw’s fall-out with Mourinho has also seen the player linked with Arsenal, Tottenham and Chelsea, but a move to Spain would massively appeal given his agent Jonathan Barnett is well connected in LaLiga as he also represents Gareth Bale.

Meanwhile, French champions Monaco are the latest club to reveal their interest in United midfielder Marouane Fellaini.

The 30-year-old Belgian is out of contract in the summer and is expected to leave Old Trafford on a free transfer. He’s been linked with Fenerbahce, Roma, PSG and Arsenal.
