Manchester United in pursuit of £29.5m rated Dortmund defender Mats Hummels
MANCHESTER UNITED are set to rival Barcelona for Borussia Dortmund defender Mats Hummels according to reports in Germany.
The 24-year-old has a £29.5m release clause inserted into his contract and has piqued the interest of Barcelona.
And it seems he will be in the middle of a transfer wrangle in January.
German publication Bild claims Barcelona are after Hummels, as he is seen as a long-term successor to Carles Puyol.
He has previously stated he is a fan of Barca, saying: "Barca is one of the clubs that would interest me."
And they also understand Dortmund are lining up FC Basel's Fabian Schar as a replacement for Hummels.
Schar has been a mooted target for Arsenal and Juventus.
