Victor Lindelof was the subject of interest from Barcelona this summerBarcelona made several attempts to sign Manchester United defender Victor Lindelof in the summer, according to the centre-back’s agent Hasan Cetinkaya. The Catalan giants were on the lookout for defensive reinforcements before the Spanish transfer window closed earlier this month and initially set their sights on Matthijs de Ligt, who at the time was still an Ajax player. A move for the Netherland’s international, however, never materialised - which paved the way for Italian champions Juventus to acquire the 20-year-old’s services. And according to Cetinkaya, De Ligt’s move to Turin prompted Barca to enquire about Lindelof’s availability.
