Manchester United Readying N17 Billion Bid For Chelsea Target

Manchester United are readying a bid for Barcelona star Sergi Roberto, according to reports.

Spanish outlet Don Balon claims the central midfielder is not guaranteed a starting shirt at the Azulgranas in the new season, especially as the club recently signed former Tottenham Hotspur player Paulinho, and have been linked with a move for Coutinho.

Several teams including Manchester United, Chelsea, Monaco and AC Milan are monitoring the situation of Roberto, with a view to launching a bid for his services this summer.

The Red Devils are willing to pay Barcelona's forty million euros (N17 billion) asking price for Sergi Roberto.

The Spain international joined Barcelona in 2006 from Gimnàstic de Tarragona.
