Man Utd are set to sign Barcelona midfielder Fermin Lopez in the summer transfer window, according to reports in Spain.

Ten Hag kept his job despite finishing eighth in the Premier League and the Red Devils have employed Dan Ashworth from Newcastle as their new sporting director to get the recruitment right this summer.

Reports have also claimed they have submitted bids for Everton s Jarrad Branthwaite, Lille s Leny Yoro over the last couple of days.
Man Utd have now made two bids for Branthwaite with their latest £50m offer being turned down by the Toffees, .
And now they also have another deal in the pipeline, if reports out of Spain are to be believed, with Man Utd ready to sign Barcelona midfielder Fermin for €30m.
The Spain international has a proposal from Man Utd after establishing himself in the first team at Barcelona in 2023/24, contributing 11 goals in 42 appearances in all competitions.
Man Utd are ready to present a significant proposal as they attempt to persuade Barcelona president Joan Laporta and Deco to open the doors for him .

It is claimed that Fermin has fallen in love with Erik Ten Hag and the Spanish midfielder could be an unexpected sacrifice for Barcelona as they look to balance the books.
Despite wanting to stay at the Camp Nou, Fermin is not ruling anything out especially if new Barcelona boss Hansi Flick decides to not guarantee him continuity.
The reports adds that a farewell is feasible, as long as a series of requirements are met but €30m does feel cheap for a 21-year-old Spain international.
One player who could leave Man Utd in order to facilitate more incomings at Old Trafford is Jadon Sancho with La Liga and Serie A insider Matteo Moretto bringing an update on the winger s future.
