Barcelona head coach Hansi Flick is personally interested in signing Manchester United defender Lisandro Martinez.
Details: According to TeamTalk, the German specialist sees the 28-year-old Argentine as the perfect reinforcement: his aggression, ability to play with a high defensive line, and exquisite passing from the back are considered benchmarks for the current Blaugrana playing style.
The situation is complicated by financial factors. Barcelona believes that a €30 million offer will be enough to convince the Red Devils' management to part ways with the player. This figure has raised eyebrows in Manchester, considering the club paid Ajax nearly twice as much just three years ago.
However, reports suggest that Manchester United is under tremendous pressure due to the Argentine's contract situation: the deal expires in 2027, and the club will either have to offer him a significant salary increase or sell him in the near future.
It's worth noting that this season, the Argentine defender has made only 12 appearances for Manchester United and has not contributed any goals or assists. Transfermarkt values Martinez at €35 million.
Reminder: Barcelona offered Manchester United Marc Casado in exchange for Marcus Rashford.
