From the source

The board at La Liga giants Barcelona are giving consideration to a mid-season swoop for a member of the defensive ranks at struggling Premier League heavyweights Manchester United.

This comes amid the understanding that the Blaugrana have set their sights on a potential deal for Lisandro Martínez. It is of course common knowledge at this point that those in a position of power at the Camp Nou are on the lookout for reinforcements at the heart of defence this January.

Amid the ongoing personnel crisis in Hansi Flick’s backline, Deco and co. have drawn up a shortlist of potential winter signings. And as alluded to above, amongst those high on the list of the transfer team in Catalunya’s capital is the name of the aforementioned Lisandro Martínez.
