According to Sport newspaper, Manchester United really wants to get the services of Barcelona players in the summer of 2024.

Defense can be considered a vital point for Man Utd this season when coach Erik ten Hag faces a series of different injuries.

It’s understandable that the Red Devils are hunting for a new centre-back, given that Raphael Varane will leave when his contract expires at the end of June.

Man Utd’s goal.

Ronald Araujo is considered one of the top targets. According to Sport, the Manchester club is willing to pay up to 68 million pounds to sign a contract with the Barcelona midfielder.

That shows that Man Utd is strong in upgrading its defense in the summer of 2024.

However, an agreement seems unlikely to come true as Barcelona wants to give autonomy to coach Hansi Flick.

In case of failure, Man Utd still has alternative targets.

Ousmane Diomande is for sale amid financial concerns from Sporting. According to Record, the Ivory Coast player could leave for £51 million.

Lille’s Leny Yoro is also preparing to leave the team. The 18-year-old is valued at a similar level and is currently being pursued by Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid.
