Barcelona to move for Man Utd target

Barcelona are preparing a summer bid for Roma defender Mehdi Benatia in the upcoming transfer window, according to a report.

The Moroccan international is considered as a top transfer target for United this summer, as they aim to find a replacement for outbound star Nemanja Vidic.

 

Gazzetta dello Sport claims that the Catalan giants are set to join the race for the talented centre-back and will make a bid in the region of £28m in order to secure the player's services this summer.

 

Barcelona finished the La Liga season as runners-up to Atletico Madrid.
