Ronald Koeman is looking for midfielders and, according to 'The Sun', he has found one he likes in the Premier League. Barcelona have the name of United's Nemanja Matic on their table. They intend to take advantage of the fact that his contract expires in 2023 to take him for a figure of around 11 million euros.

Last summer, Barca missed out on Wijnaldum. He was the perfect man for the Catalan giants' midfield, but after his contract expired he decided to leave for PSG.

And Barcelona are still looking for reinforcements for the midfield. Of course, the situation is delicate in economic terms, so they are focused on a low-cost option at Camp Nou.

According to 'The Sun', Nemanja Matic fits the profile Barcelona are looking for. He has extensive experience in elite football and his contract is about to expire, so they could convince United, his owner club, to get a good price.

The British newspaper dares to put a price tag on the operation. Barca would like to get Matic's services for around 11.8 million euros.

In addition, Solskjaer hardly has room for Matic. The midfielder would be one of the expendable players for United, so the club would be open to listen to offers.

The Catalan giants' proposal, in case he finally arrives at Old Trafford, will be for the summer of 2022. For the moment, the Camp Nou are in no rush to bring in midfielders for January.
