Barcelona eye shock move for West Ham ace Manuel Lanzini as they grow frustrated with pursuit of Philippe Coutinho and Ousmane Dembele
BARCELONA are set to turn their attentions to West Ham's Manuel Lanzini with the growing frustration at the lack of transfers, according to reports.
The Catalan club are facing a losing battle in their pursuit of Philippe Coutinho and Ousmane Dembele.
SunSport exclusively revealed that Barca are ready to launch a fourth and final bid of £136million to land Coutinho this summer.
But the Reds still insist the Brazilian will stay at Anfield leaving Barcelona to look elsewhere to bolster their attacking options.
Likewise with Borussia Dortmund's Dembele, the club are struggling to agree a fee with the Bundesliga outfit having had a £119m bid rejected.
And now it appears Ernesto Valverde's side will target Argentine stars Lanzini and Angel Di Maria.
According to reports in Argentina, Lanzini's versatility in attacking positions make him an attractive option for the manager.
But he is likely to make most of his impact from the substitute bench if he does agree to a move to the Nou Camp.

Lanzini, 24, has been impressive in his two Premier League seasons scoring 14 over both campaigns.
He may have to play second fiddle to Di Maria if Barcelona get their way.
The club have been tracking the Paris Saint-Germain forward throughout the summer and his place in the side is under threat especially as the French giants chase Kylian Mbappe.
