United make £25m bid to sign 21yo starlet, UCL giants will sell for 'wildcard' offer - report

Manchester United are likely to make multiple signings during the summer transfer window and a new midfielder could be one of the priorities for manager Erik ten Hag.

Sport (page 16) today claim that United recently made a £25 million bid for Barcelona star Fermin Lopez, but the proposal was immediately turned down by the Catalan giants.

The Blaugrana responded practically with a smile. The midfielder is considered ‘non-transferable’ despite the club’s requirement to balance their books by the end of June.
