Manchester United has made a £15million offer for Spain's under 21 hero and Barcelona youngster Thiago Alcantara.
Alex Ferguson wants the star of Spain's European Championship Under-21 side in an outright cash deal. But Barca are reluctant to sell Thiago to Manchester united.
Manchester United's offer is bigger than any other interested club and Fergie made his move before Thiago's stunning 45-yard free-kick strike in the Euro final at the weekend.
Barcelona would like to sell the midfield to a Premier League club, but want a buy-back clause, which Man United will not agree to.
