BARCELONA WANTS MANCHESTER CITY’S ANGELINO.

Barcelona have expressed an interest in signing Angelino from Manchester City, with the English side valuing him at €30m (£27m).

The 23-year-old full-back has recently been on loan at RB Leipzig – and helped the German club reach their first Champions League semi-final – before losing to Paris Saint-Germain.

Angelino returned to City in a £5.3m move from Dutch side PSV Eindhoven in July 2019 and has made 12 appearances across all competitions in his second stint.

He started in City’s academy after arriving from Deportivo La Coruna but only played for the first team three times in his first spell at the club – instead enjoying loans at New York City FC, Girona, Mallorca and NAC Breda.

The Spaniard was signed by PSV and rejoined City just a year later after the Premier League club activated a buy-back clause in his contract.

Following his latest loan in the Bundesliga, he has now attracted interest from Barcelona, who are in the midst of a rebuild following the departures of head coach Quique Setien and sporting director Eric Abidal.

Barca have appointed Ronald Koeman as their new head coach on a two-year deal, who is reportedly a big admirer of Georginio Wijnaldum.
