Manchester United have received a boost in their pursuit of Fiorentina wing-back Juan Cuadrado.
United were understood to be competing with Barcelona for the Colombian, but the Catalans insist he's not on their shopping list.
El Mundo Deportivo says Barca sources insist they never made a summer offer for Cuadrado and the midfielder is not of interest.
United boss Louis van Gaal admitted he was keen on Cuadrado over the summer and remains in the hunt for the World Cup star.
It's emerged this week new contract talks between Fiorentina and Cuadrado have stalled with the two parties €1 million-a-year apart.
