Man United making ‘same mistakes’ on transfers says expert
Manchester United, Arsenal and Liverpool are all thought to be in the market for a new centre-back this summer and Barcelona could have a brilliant solution which would save them millions.
United are on the hunt for a long-term partner for Harry Maguire as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is not convinced with Victor Lindelof or Eric Bailly.
Likewise in north London, Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta wants to find a new centre-back to play alongside Gabriel.
Jurgen Klopp is searching for cover for Virgil van Dijk and Joe Gomez after this season's injury crisis brought to light their lack of strength in depth at the back.
The last couple of years have shown how important a world class centre-back is to winning the Premier League title.
Liverpool were only able to dominate world football once they stabilised the foundation by signing Van Dijk.

Manchester City wrestled the Premier League reigns back this year after they finally replaced Vincent Kompany with Ruben Dias.
United, Arsenal and Liverpool could turn to Barcelona in their search as they are 'trying to release' Samuel Umtiti, according to Mundo Deportivo.
City starlet Eric Garcia is expected to move to the Nou Camp when his contract expires at the end of the season.
That means Umtiti, who has been on the periphery of the first team, will become surplus to requirements.
