Barcelona are launching a bid for Manchester United target Thomas Vermaelen. The Sunday Mirror says Barcelona have emerged as favourites to land Arsenal skipper Vermaelen for £10million.
The Spanish giants' new coach boss Luis Enrique believes that the defender will be perfect for his re-building job at the Camp Nou.
Although Manchester United are keen on the 28-year-old Belgium international, Arsenal would prefer him to move to Spain rather than to a Premier League rival.
