The ripples from Paul Pogba’s transfer comments continue to spread around Europe, and Barcelona’s local media have got themselves especially excited.

That’s not because they believe the club will make a move for the Manchester United midfielder, rather that they’ve decided Old Trafford will now be the destination for players Barca want to to offload.

Mundo Deportivo claimed in their Monday edition that Philippe Coutinho and Ivan Rakitic would be options for the Premier League club, and now Sport have taken claims around the Brazilian further.

It’s stated Manchester United are ‘bidding’ for the player. That doesn’t mean they’ve been sending offers, it means they want to sign him.

Barcelona are looking for sales, and getting around €100m for the former Liverpool player would be welcome at the Camp Nou.

After a difficult season in La Liga, Coutinho is revaluing himself at the Copa America, explain Sport. They state he was the MVP as Brazil beat Bolivia, with two assists.
