Man Utd ‘favourites’ to sign €55m Barcelona star

In an attempt to free up transfer cash, Barcelona is rumored to have informed four defenders that they would be available for sale this summer. Manchester United is supposedly in the lead to sign one of these players, Jules Kounde.

For some years now, the Blaugrana have struggled financially and have always sailed too close to the wind to adhere to FFP regulations and game rules. Deco, a former Chelsea player, is now in charge of the squad. It is up to the Portuguese manager to manage the team's resources as effectively as possible and make sure money is available for team improvements. Additionally, according to the story, notice has been sent to Kounde, Andreas Christensen, Eric Garcia, and Clement Lenglet prior to the summer timeframe. The arrival of the gifted youth Pau Cubarsi and the form of Ronald Araujo, who is currently firmly established as their starting center-half, have made this decision a great deal easier.
