Manchester United have reportedly made contact to sign Atlético Madrid midfielder Pablo Barrios, as per transfer journalist Matteo Moretto. The 23-year-old started his youth career at Moratalaz before spending six years with Real Madrid.
He joined Los Rojiblancos’ academy at the age of 14. After rising through their youth system, Barrios made his first-team debut back in 2022. Initially, he featured as a rotational option before playing regularly during the 2024/25 campaign.
However, the Spaniard struggled with fitness problems last term. Having recovered from his injuries, he has enjoyed a promising start this season, making two goal contributions across all competitions.
