British tabloid The Sunday Mirror claims that Barcelona will make another attempt to sign Manchester United central defender and Serbian international Nemanja Vidic (27) this summer.
Rumours that Vidic is unsettled in Manchester continue to circulate and Barcelona would still be hoping a deal can be sealed. Barcelona has reportedly been given encouragement by sources close to the player suggesting Vidic wants to leave because his wife Ana does not enjoy living in England.
Vidic, who has three years left on his contract and is currently out with a calf injury, remains a key player for Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson, but the emergence of Jonny Evans last season and the consistency of Rio Ferdinand could make the coach change his mind.
Barcelona would even have made it clear to Vidic's advisers that the club will try again during the winter transfer window next year if they fail to sign the Serbian centre-back this month. Italian clubs AC Milan and Inter Milan are also believed to be monitoring the situation of Vidic.
