A defeat like the one suffered in Lisbon at the hands of Bayern Munich (2-8) has consequences. And in Can Barça they have not been waiting. Setién and Abidal have been the first to suffer the strong waves caused by the tsunami Munich, Bartomeu barely resists and the squad will undergo a strong restructuring that aims to open the exit door to many players. In fact, only four (Ter Stegen, Lenglet, De Jong and Messi) are non-transferable, while there are seven that will come out yes or yes (Arthur, Junior, Rakitic, Braithwaite, Umtiti, Arturo Vidal and Dembélé). Many will be the teams that will attend the Barcelona sales, but there is a team with special interest, Manchester United. He Manchester Evening News has echoed past interest from Red Devils by several Barça footballers and points, among others, to four of the discards that will come out with more urgency: Dembélé, Vidal, Rakitic and Umtiti.
Ousmane Dembélé
The 23-year-old winger was already interested in Old Trafford before the notorious elimination of the Champions League and ESPN reported a month ago that both clubs had held “informal” conversations over the French. Injuries, an ordeal of 260 through, (and indiscipline) have not let a player shine who arrived three years ago with the hard label of the 105 million (more variable) paid to Borussia Dortmund and carry Neymar's '11' to the back. If the Sancho option ended up disappearing, the mosquito would gain integers on the shopping list of the red devils.
Arturo vidal
Last winter market, Arturo Vidal (33 years old) was already placed on the starting ramp and one of the teams that put the most emphasis on his arrival was the Mancuniano. “If in December or when the season ends I do not feel that I am important, I will have to make a decision and find another place to be important again“He went on to say. Against all odds, given that his style of play is contrary to Quique Setién's philosophy, he has ended up playing regularly, but has been one of those indicated after the poor end of the season culé. In Manchester they could call at his door again, since Solskjaer's midfield suffers from the claw that the Chilean could provide.
Ivan Rakitic
It is not news that the Croatian is linked with Manchester United. In fact, last summer his name already slipped as a substitute for a Pogba who wanted to wear white. Rakitic (32) went from being indisputable to transferable and, from there, to rotation player throughout the season. The player has manifested, of course, about the discontent that the situation produces, but always in the professional tone that characterizes him. Since Manchester Evening News They understand that neither the Croatian nor Vidal fit the profile of reinforcements that Solskjaer likes, with a fondness for the new blood, but they assume that they would provide very valid profiles for the English team. Also, the price would not be a problem …
Samuel Umtiti
Little remains of that center-back that delighted the Blaugrana parish and earned a millionaire renovation. Since he decided to opt for a conservative treatment with his knee in the summer of 2018, everything is fleas in the trajectory of Samuel Umtiti. An ordeal that has placed him with a foot and a half outside the Camp Nou. United need defensive power to join Harry Maguire and Victor Lindelof and the aforementioned British media points to the 26-year-old French as the most desired for that task. Arsenal and Chelsea are also following in his footsteps.
