Barcelona to beat Man United to Stones

Barcelona are preparing to make a move for Everton defener and Manchester United target John Stones.

The Spanish champions have decided to revive their interest in the England international after it was made clear that their main target Marquinhos was staying at Paris Saint-Germain. 

Everton have valued the 22-year-old at  £45million, but it is believed the Catalan giants will open the bidding at around £25m.

New Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho tried to sign the defender last summer when at Chelsea, and it is believed he will rival Barcelona to try and sign him this summer at his new club.
