Barcelona are determined to hold talks with Thiago Alcantara regarding his potential move to Manchester United.
The 22-year old Brazilian-born Spanish midfielder is being heavily linked with a £17million shift to Old Trafford but Barca will be loath to lose him.
The father of Thiago, Brazilian World Cup winner Mazinho, has suggested that a deal to join United is on the cards and that his son is looking to leave the Nou Camp but Barcelona will do whatever they can to avoid the loss according to reports.
