BARCELONA are set to make a £14m offer for Manchester United star Daley Blind, according to reports
Spanish outlet Sport claim Jose Mourinho is prepared to let the Dutchman leave Old Trafford and is unconvinced by his talents.
Blind was a favourite of Louis van Gaal, playing 84 games since his arrival from Ajax in 2014 after impressing at the World Cup.
The 26-year-old is wanted by Barca boss Luis Enrique as cover for his defence next season
With Dani Alves set to join Juventus and the future of Javier Mascherano undecided, Blind is seen as the ideal man to play at the Nou Camp.
Mourinho is set to conduct an overhaul of the United squad he inherited from Van Gaal with Juan Mata also poised to leave.
The Special One is keen to have power and pace in his Red Devils side, a quality both Blind and Mata lack.
Barcelona are prepared to offer the Holland international an escape route though, and he could be convinced to leave if he is surplus to requirements at Old Trafford.
Blind played 35 Premier League games this season and forged a successful partnership with Chris Smalling in the heart of the United defence.
Mourinho remains unconvinced and has been linked with a number of defenders includingEverton's John Stones and Real Madrid's Raphael Varane.
