Multiple Italian sources claim Barcelona are trying to poach Roma director of sport Monchi after reports of Manchester United interest.
The former Sevilla director only joined last year, but both the Corriere dello Sport and Gazzetta dello Sport suggest his family is eager for a return to Spain.
This would rule out Manchester United, who have also approached Juventus director of sport Fabio Paratici.

However, Barcelona are said to be interested in bringing Monchi in to help make the most of their ‘Cantera’ youth system and scouting network.
He is under contract with Roma until June 2021, but the club is still reportedly nervous, especially after recent criticism from fans for the departure of Kevin Strootman to Olympique Marseille.
