Euro Paper Talk: Man Utd ready to take £51.5m gamble on Barcelona man; huge claims over £150m Kane transfer to rival Manchester United have made a Barcelona star a top summer target and are ready to meet the €60m asking price, while Monday’s Euro Paper Talk details a massive claim over Harry Kane’s future and a British record summer transfer. GRIEZMANN TOPS SOLSKJAER’S LIST OF STRIKER TARGETS Manchester United will make a summer play to sign Antoine Griezmann amid claims he’s up for sale this summer. New Barcelona president Joan Laporte has massive plans this summer, with Erling Haaland his No 1 target. Signing him won’t be easy, however. A report on Monday morning claimed five big-name stars have been put up for sale to raise funds. Among those Laporte is looking to move on is Griezmann. The France forward cost Barca €120m in signing from Atletico Madrid in 2019. The World Cup winner though has not hit the heights at the Nou Camp. In 86 outings for the club, he has just 27 goals. Now according to Don Balon, he’s being allowed to leave for €60m this summer – half the fee Barca paid for him. The outlet reckons that price has alerted Ole Gunnar Solskjaer who is now ready to make a firm approach for the 29-year-old. United are in the market for a new striker this summer with Edinson Cavani set to move on. It’s also claimed Griezmann is open to the move to Old Trafford. He, of course, famously almost moved to United back in 2017, rating his chances a ‘six out of 10’. Now though, a £51.5m transfer may finally come about. However, despite the reduced asking price, the signing of Griezmann represents something of a gamble. There’s also the question of whether his style suits United’s pacy approach. With just six goals in 24 La Liga appearances this season, there are some who feel Griezmann’s better days are behind him.
