Jorge Salinas, a 19-year-old left-back from Racing de Santander, is once again at the center of the market. Manchester United has entered the bidding war alongside Barcelona and Atlético de Madrid, with the English club willing to assume the €16 million release clause, a figure that Barcelona is trying to lower through negotiations with Racing. The Barça market is focused on the signing of Joao Cancelo.

The Spanish U-19 international, who returned to training with Racing this week after his vacation, remains a top priority for several European clubs to strengthen the left-back position. The interest from Manchester United shifts the scenario where up to now Barcelona and Atlético de Madrid were leading.

Jorge Salinas gains strength in Manchester United's plans

Manchester United has identified Jorge Salinas as an alternative to Lewis Hall, Newcastle's full-back. The English club's refusal to negotiate Hall's departure has led Old Trafford to accelerate its pursuit of the Spanish defender, who was scouted during the U-19 European Championship this summer.

According to reports in England, coach Michael Carrick has already approved the player's signing if the deal for Hall falls through. Furthermore, the English club is open to activating the €16 million release clause, an amount they consider reasonable to strengthen a position plagued by Luke Shaw's recurring fitness issues.

Barcelona continues its pursuit of Jorge Salinas

Barcelona has not given up on the operation despite focusing much of its efforts on strengthening the attack. Deco still believes that the left-back position needs competition and is in talks to find a formula to reduce the transfer cost.

The Blaugrana's proposal involves an offer close to €8 million, split between a fixed sum and variables, in addition to the possibility of including a player on loan to facilitate the agreement with Racing. This financial gap explains why the Catalan club has not yet finalized the signing.

The player's preference could play a significant role. Various reports suggest that Jorge Salinas prioritizes joining Barcelona, although this preference does not eliminate the need for an agreement between both clubs.

Atlético de Madrid remains attentive to the operation's progress

Atlético de Madrid continues in the race for the Cantabrian defender. The Rojiblanco's sporting management had already started discussions with Racing weeks ago and is monitoring a player they see as a future option for the left flank.

Meanwhile, Jorge Salinas is already training with Racing after winning the U-19 European Championship with Spain. The next step will depend on negotiations between the clubs. Manchester United has the financial capability to pay the full clause, Barcelona is trying to reach a more economical deal, and Atlético de Madrid remains attentive to any changes in a bidding war that is still wide open.
