It seems that Manchester United will stand in the way of Barcelona to improve their financial conditions, albeit indirectly.
How does Manchester boycott Barcelona’s plans?
The Daily Mail said that Manchester United are interested in signing Atletico Madrid midfielder Sail Niguez.
Saul has been one of Barcelona’s targets this summer, to lure him into a mutual deal, with French striker Antoine Griezmann returning from Barcelona to his old club, Atlético Madrid.
But the swap appears to be on its way to complete failure, with Manchester United wanting to sign Saul, who has stuck to a release clause in his contract worth 135 million euros, but the English club appears determined to finish the deal for 50 million euros. It is believed that the amount will convince the Spanish club.
The damage that will happen to Barcelona if this deal is completed is Antoine Griezmann staying at Barcelona. The salaries of the great player, the Catalan club, wants to get rid of him in the face of the economic crisis that Barcelona suffers from.
