Man United set for swoop for ‘the next Sergio Busquets’ in €20m-rated Barcelona star Midfielder Amid strong Newcastle united interest -Report

Since Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s Ineos group arrived, Manchester United’s transfer policy has slightly changed, resulting in the signing of several well-known younger players to the team’s youth teams.

Moisés Llorens, a Spanish journalist, claims that United will compete with many other Premier League teams to take advantage of the rumored release clause of Marc Bernal, a young player for Barcelona.

Recently added to the Barcelona first team, Bernal is a natural defensive midfielder who has earned the nickname “the next Sergio Busquets” due to his flawless poise and technical abilities.

Still only 17, Bernal looks to be the latest in a long line of elite academy products coming out of La Masia in what will undoubtedly be seen as a golden generation for the club.

“The [No.6] role is as much about the mind of the player as the ability, and the signs are superb with Bernal, who can receive at any angle, find space off the ball and minimise it when the opposition have it. He has the calmness, he has the build and he has the know-how of when to intercept and when to tackle.”

the Journalist over X, states that Newcastle are also in the mix to sign the youngster, whose contract is set to expire in 2026. More importantly, they report that Bernal’s current deal includes a €20 million release clause, alerting plenty of Europe’s elite clubs.

Despite a positive start to the season, Bernal suffered a severe knee injury in recent weeks which looks set to keep him out for the remainder of the season, while the Catalan club look set to offer the youngster a new deal in order to ward off any interest.

In FourFourTwo’s opinion, this deal will undoubtedly rely on whether or not Barcelona can tie down their starlet to a new deal.

A €20 million release clause for a player of this ability is an opportunity too good to miss if they can convince the player to leave his native Spain. However, an exciting crop of young midfielder’s in United’s own youth system will undoubtedly soften the blow of any unsuccessful pursuit
