Barcelona, Real Madrid interested in Manchester United target Luis Guilherme, Barca rule out move

Barcelona and Real Madrid are reportedly interested in Palmeiras midfielder Luis Guilherme, a target for Manchester United.

A report from Mundo Deportivo has claimed that Barcelona and REal Madrid are keeping tabs on Luis Guilherme. But Barcelona have now ruled out any potential move. The 17-year-old has been linked with Premier League giants Manchester United as well, and he is valued at €60 million.

It will be interesting to see if the Real Madrid and Manchester United are willing to pay that kind of money for him. The 17-year-old is highly rated in South America, and he has the potential to develop into a top-class midfielder.

The opportunity to play for clubs like Barcelona, Real Madrid and Manchester United will be hard to turn down for the talented young midfielder. But it remains to be seen whether they come forward with a concrete proposal to sign him.

Real Madrid have signed a number of talented young midfielders in recent seasons, and they have put together a formidable midfield unit. The addition of the 17-year-old Brazilian will only improve them further and help them compete for major trophies in the coming seasons.

Luka Modric and Toni Kroos are in their twilight years and Real Madrid will have to start planning for a future without them. Meanwhile, Manchester United will have to add more quality in the middle of the park as well, and they have set their sights on Guilherme.

Cassemiro is in his thirties, and the Red Devils are missing a midfield controller. While the 17-year-old might not be ready for the Premier League just yet, he could be a solid long-term investment and could develop into a key player for the Red Devils in the coming seasons.

Real Madrid and Manchester United certainly have the financial resources to sign Guilherme. But it will be interesting to see how the situation develops. Barcelona are going through financial difficulties, and they are unlikely to be able to compete with the two clubs in the transfer chase.

Working under managers like Carlo Ancelotti and Erik ten Hag could help the 17-year-old improve as a footballer and fulfil his world-class potential. It would be a major step up in his career and it could accelerate his development. The reported €60 million asking price might seem like a premium right now. But it could prove to be a bargain in the long run if Guilherme manages to fulfil his potential.
