Barcelona are reportedly preparing a shock bid to secure the services of Manchester United defender Daley Blind.
According to Spanish outlet Marca, Barcelona boss Ernesto Valverde is keen to bolster his defensive options as he prepares for the departure of Javier Mascherano.
Blind's versatility means he can comfortably play in the centre or left of defence as well as central midfield.
However, the Dutchman's current deal at Old Trafford is set to expire in June 2018 and he could be forced to move away from United after slipping down the pecking order under Jose Mourinho.
