Barcelona are ready to rival Manchester United for the signature of Ajax defender Gregory van der Wiel according to reports from Spain. The Catalan giants are waiting for their Brazilian full back Dani Alves to put pen to paper on a new contract, but are already considering alternatives in case the former Sevilla man stalls.
Josep Guardiola’s all-conquering side believe that a bid of €20M should put them next to United in the summer chase for Van der Wiel report El Mundo Deportivo and have been scouting the 22-year-old for the past few months.
I do think Alves is a better player and Barca should do their best to keep him, but Wiel isnt that far behind him
