Jim Ratcliffe hopes to rebuild Manchester United, and turn them back into a formidable rival in Europe and a team capable of fighting for all the titles. Over the past few years, the English entity has already invested a huge amount of money in being able to bring in galactic signings, but many of them have not worked out, and have remained excessively irregular. But this summer they hope that things will change, and that they will end their drought of major titles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And the first two goals that the new executive director of the ‘red devils’ have set themselves play for Bar\u00e7a . The first, and the least surprising, is that of Frenkie de Jong , who they have tried to recruit on more than one occasion recently. And the reality is that they came very close to taking the cat to the water in 2022, when Joan Laporta and Mateu Alemany accepted the offer they put on the table, valued at around 90 million of euros<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But it was the 26-year-old midfielder who rejected the offer, and Xavi Hern\u00e1ndez didn’t want to lose him either. Even if Erik Ten Hag, his discoverer in Ajax of Amsterdam, has his days numbered at Old Trafford, they intend to try their luck again for the international with the selection of the Netherlands. And in the Camp Nou they can meditate its sale, to obtain income. In addition, this campaign has suffered a lot of injuries, and it has been shown that it is not essential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They have Pedri Gonz\u00e1lez, Ilkay G\u00fcndogan, Pablo P\u00e1ez ‘Gavi’ and Ferm\u00edn L\u00f3pez to play in that role, so Deco would be willing to negotiate. And the other crack in the Blaugrana squad that also generates consensus at United, and for which Ratcliffe can carry out an offensive soon, is Alejandro Balde . He has undoubtedly been one of the disappointments of the current campaign, as he has performed at a much lower level than he showed last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He lost his place in the starting eleven, and since January he has been injured, and will not reappear until next year. At Bar\u00e7a they don’t consider him untouchable either.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bar\u00e7a would ask for more than 150 millions<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Although Ratcliffe is aware that Bar\u00e7a will not make any gifts , and Laporta will not be satisfied with obtaining less than 150 millions for the departures of Balde, who is valued at 60, and De Jong, who has a value of 90.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
