Manchester United have made a move for Barcelona midfielder Ivan Rakitic.
United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is looking for reinforcements in midfield. Ander Herrera will leave the club free transfer.
Paul Pogba could also travel this summer with Real Madrid and Juventus, both fans of the World Cup of France.
Reports in Spain suggest that United has made an "approach" to Barcelona to take Rakitic to Old Trafford.
According to Sport, United would have asked his Spanish counterparts to quote their price – although it is unlikely that Rakitic will move away from Nou camp.

It is unlikely that he is considering a move if United significantly improves their contract offer.
Barca would be willing to listen to the offers of the Croatian midfielder, member of the club since 2014.
The champions of Spain are eager to raise funds for their own income. Ernesto Valverde is desperate to bring United to his first target, Matthijs de Ligt.
It is expected to hit about £ 70 million, after excellent performances for Ajax qualifying for the semifinals of the Champions League.

Barca put an offer on the table for De Ligt but United is also in the mix, although he missed the top four last season.
Juventus and PSG are also interested in the defender, who has established itself as the best property of world football.
An agreement for Antoine Griezmann is also in preparation and it is unlikely that Barca will be able to afford these two options without cashing a portion of his current crop.
Philippe Coutinho could also be at stake this summer after 18 months of frustration at Camp Nou since moving to Liverpool.
