Paper Talk: Liverpool join Barcelona in hunt for Portuguese starlet; Man Utd ready to launch big-money bid Liverpool are battling Barcelona for the signing of a Wolves starlet, while Man Utd will launch a £50m midfielder bid, according to Tuesday’s papers. KLOPP IMPRESSED BY WOLVES STARLET Liverpool are battling Barcelona for the signing of Wolves star Ruben Vinagre, according to a report. Vinagre only moved to Molineux permanently last summer in a £10million deal having impressed Nuno Espirito Santo during a loan spell from Monaco. The Midlands club could be in line to flip him for a quick profit just 12 months later though, with the Birmingham Mail suggesting that the Portugal starlet is attracting interest from two of Europe’s top clubs. The left-back, who turned 20 today, has featured in 14 Premier League games this season for Wolves having established himself as the back-up to Jonny Castrosince Barry Douglas’ departure.
