Manchester United are in the market for just a handful of statement signings this summer who can improve the first-team.

According to the report in British Media, Sergi Roberto has a release clause in his contract which stands at 42 million euros which would need to be met in full before Barcelona would allow him to leave the club this summer.

Chelsea and Monaco have reportedly registered an interest in his services and have enquired over his availability. It’s now down to the manager and the board to decide his future.

Sergi Roberto would reportedly be interested in a move this summer, but if Manchester United do want him, they will have to beat those other interested clubs to his signature.
