According to a report from ESPN, Barcelona are keen on a potential move for Jesse Lingard. The Manchester United and England attacker is nearing the end of his contract and there are a couple of teams that are interested in his services.
Both AC Milan and Barcelona are interested in Lingard as an attacking option on a free transfer. Players who could be signed on a free are going to be hot commodities this summer as big teams still manage a post-pandemic economy.
The report reckons Lingard is “open to moving to either Spain or Italy as he plots the next step in his career” and “has already rejected a contract offer” from United because he’s worried he won’t play enough at Old Trafford to get into the England squad for the World Cup.
