Reports now indicate that Man United and Barcelona have begun talks to make a shocking player swap in the summer transfer window.
According to reports big Man United and Barcelona have begun talks on a possible player swap in the summer transfer window.
Manchester United is reportedly exploring the possibility of signing Brazilian winger Raphinha from Barcelona, which could result in Antony and Jadon Sancho leaving Old Trafford. Raphinha, who joined Barcelona in 2022, has been a significant contributor to the team’s success, and his performances for both club and country have made him a highly sought-after player.
Barcelona is open to selling Raphinha for a fee of around €60 million (£51m/$65m) due to financial constraints and the need to make room for new signings.
The Catalan club is reportedly interested in acquiring Nico Williams from Athletic Club and Kingsley Coman from Bayern Munich but must first offload players like Raphinha to free up space on their roster.
Erik ten Hag sees Raphinha as a valuable addition to his squad, which could mean Antony, who has been inconsistent, or Sancho, who has struggled to find form, might be on their way out of the club. As United prepares to kick off their 2024-25 Premier League season against Fulham, the situation remains fluid, and it’s uncertain whether Raphinha will feature in Barcelona’s opening La Liga match against Valencia.
The outcome of these potential transfers will depend on Barcelona’s ability to balance their squad and register new signings in time for the start of the season.
