FC Barcelona make van Nistelrooy move
First Published: May 03, 2002
FC Barcelona president Joan Gaspart met Manchester United striker Ruud van Nistelrooy this week for talks in the Catalan capital.
The meeting took place after United were defeated in a Champions League semi final and saw Gaspart's office staff show the Dutch star around Barca's Camp Nou stadium.
Barca have also looked at signing Argentine forward Hernan Crespo from SS Lazio who also have interest from Madrid in their striker.
But the move for van Nistelrooy will shock United's fans.
The 22 year old is the club's top scorer in his first season at United and he is rated at $45 million in the transfer market.
His sale looks very unlikely as United look to regroup after an unsuccessful season by their standards. United also have interest from Barca in their midfielder Juan Veron and are sure to resist any attempt by Barca to try and sign former PSV star van Nistelrooy.
