Manchester United are back in for a Barcelona centre-back, while Liverpool could see one of their star forwards depart, according to Tuesday’s European papers.
MAN UTD BACK IN FOR BARCELONA STOPPER
Manchester United are reportedly preparing to table an offer for Barcelona centre-back Samuel Umtiti, having made contact with the Cataln giants to discuss a deal.
The Red Devils remain in the market for a new centre-back with primary target Harry Maguire still yet to finalise a proposed £80m switch to Old Trafford.
France star Umtiti has long been touted for a summer switch to Manchester, having fallen down the pecking order at Camp Nou, with City also said to be keeping an eye on the defender.
According to Le 10 Sport, United are now ready to submit a €50m bid for the World Cup winner after opening negotiations at the start of the week, although Barca are likely to want nearer to €60m for the 25-year-old.
The French publication also reports that the two clubs are expected to reach an agreement before the August 8 deadline for Premier League clubs.

REAL MADRID UP PURSUIT OF €180M LIVERPOOL MAN
Real Madrid are reportedly willing to offer Liverpool star Sadio Mane a huge incentive to try and lure him to the Bernabeu in a €180m deal.
Eden Hazard, Luka Jovic and Rodrygo have already arrived for just under £300m already this summer – but more could yet follow.
Real could be forced to sell a number of players who will see their game time drastically reduced next term, with claims Florentino Perez is now plotting a ‘fire sale’ of sorts in order to raise enough money to land one more big blockbuster name.
James Rodriguez, Isco, Gareth Bale, Lucas Vazquez, Keylor Navas and Mariano Diaz have been transfer listed as they look to recoup a whopping €200million.
Recent reports – especially those from Spain – have suggested that Perez has his heart set on procuring Mane from Liverpool this summer.
And if the latest reports from Don Balon are to be believed then Los Blancos are ready to go all-out for the Senegal international by offering him a ket incentive.
Their report states that Real Madrid will give Mane the ‘fabled’ No.7 shirt should he agree to join this summer, though a deal is tipped to cost around €180m.
It has been previously suggested by the same outlet that Real are willing to offer Marco Asensio to Jurgen Klopp in order to try and reduce that asking price.
However, Liverpool have reportedly made it clear they ‘would not welcome any offers’ for Mane.
