Barcelona offers Manchester United a reduced price agreement with Ousmane Dembélé

Barcelona offers Manchester United Osumane Dembélé, Said Benrahma postpones Crystal Palace, Duje Caleta-Car rejects West Ham and Barça wants Eric García.

Barcelona are willing to take a hit on Ousmane Dembele’s asking price if it means they can sell him to Manchester United. The 23-year-old French international is available for £ 60 million. Neither the Spanish club nor the winger are interested in a loan deal, and the Mirror believes that Sevilla’s Lucas Ocampos could be a cheaper option at around £ 35 million.

Paper Round’s opinion: Ocampos is undoubtedly a better player than Jesse Lingard or Daniel James, and has experience in the top flight of European competition. The 26-year-old Argentine international would help support Mason Greenwood on the right wing and provide Ole Gunnar Solskjaer with the reinforcements he wanted, even if he doesn’t possess the potential of Jadon Sancho.

Crystal Palace would consider making a move for Said Benrahma of Brentford if they sell Andros Townsend to West Bromwich Albion. However, the 25-year-old Algerian playmaker is asking for a £ 60,000-a-week contract according to the Sun, and that’s too much for Palace given that his current club is looking to get £ 20 million for him, should they sell. . up.

Paper Round’s opinion: At 25, Benrahma probably only has a year or so to earn a move to the Premier League before losing his chance. Pricing for a move now doesn’t make sense. You should make sure you can impress in Europe’s top league before landing a new contract and potentially moving up the league to an even bigger team. That would likely make you earn even more than your desired salary.

West Ham United looks like they will miss the Duje Caleta-Car. David Moyes’s team had agreed to a £ 20 million fee for the 24-year-old Croatian international center-back, but turned down the chance to move to the Premier League. The prospect of staying at Marseille and competing in the Champions League made him reluctant to move to the London club.

Paper Round’s opinion: Marseille is the best city in the world, and when people take it they rarely realize they want to leave. For Caleta-Car, it might be easier. She could earn more money and take part in a relegation battle with Moyes, or she could stay with Andre Villas Boas near the Mediterranean while she competes in Europe’s biggest competition.

The Spanish newspaper Marca has reported that Ronald Koeman is interested in bringing Manchester City central defender Eric García to Barcelona. “The window is open until Monday and we want this player [Eric Garcia] because right now we have three or four center-backs and we are a bit light in that position, “said the Barcelona coach. The 19-year-old is a former Barça youth.

Paper Round’s opinion: At 19, Garcia could be growing impatient as he awaits first-team opportunities at the Etihad, and with relatively young defenders like Ruben Dias, Nathan Ake and Aymeric Laporte on his way, not to mention John Stones, a move from back to his childhood. club will probably attract. As for Barcelona, ​​it is unclear if they could afford to bring him in on a permanent contract.
