Swap deal? Barcelona star emerges as summer target for Man United | OneFootball

A member of the goalkeeper ranks at La Liga giants Barcelona has made his way onto the transfer radar of Manchester United.

That’s according to Diario Sport, citing English outlet TEAMtalk, who point towards Marc-André ter Stegen as the player in question.

It is of course common knowledge at this point that Ter Stegen has been deemed surplus to requirements by those behind the scenes at Barcelona.

With Espanyol standout Joan García on his way in at the Camp Nou, and Wojciech Szczęsny expected to stay put for another season, too, the Blaugrana’s long-time no.1 all of a sudden finds himself as the odd man out.

The intention on the part of Deco and co, in turn, is to find a new home for Ter Stegen for next season.

And as much could yet be found in England, at the aforementioned Man United.

As per Sport, amid a search for a replacement for the oft-criticised André Onana:

‘As reported by ‘TEAMtalk’, Ter Stegen is the main candidate on the agenda for United’s goal.’

Such interest could yet give rise to talks over a potential player exchange between the two clubs, with Barcelona of course long-term admirers of the talents of Red Devils attacker Marcus Rashford.
