According to Mundo Deportivo Barcelona are weighing up an offer for Anthony Martial with the money they received for Neymar during the summer.
The France international remains very much a squad player at Manchester United under Jose Mourinho but has enjoyed a notable start to the campaign nonetheless.
The 21-year-old has five goals and five assists to his name in just 371 appearances across all competitions for the Red Devils this season, contributing to a goal every 37.1 minutes thus far.
He remains behind Marcus Rashford in the pecking order from the left of United’s attack though, and will be keen to establish himself as a more regular fixture in the side ahead of next summer’s World Cup.
The Premier League title contenders forked out around £50m up front for the youngster’s services from Monaco in 2015, with add ons taking that sum to a potential £80m, including a £10m payment due once the forward makes another ten international appearances.
Barcelona, therefore, could make a move for Martial before then in an attempt to secure his services for a lower fee.
The blaugrana spent much of the money received from the sale of Neymar on Ousmane Dembele during the summer but a long term injury has led them to look for further reinforcements to their front three, and a move for Martial could yet be on the cards.
