Barcelona are contemplating the idea of selling Andre Gomes, given bids for wantaway star Arda Turan have not been forthcoming, according to Marca.

Barca had been wanting to move on the Turkish star this summer and make some room in what is a squad jam-packed with midfield talent – but the 30-year-old is no closer to the Nou Camp exit door.

Indecisiveness over Turan’s future is now likely to affect Gomes’ Barca stay, with Ernesto Valverde apparently being happy to let the former Benfica man go.

Up until now, Manchester United have shown plenty of interest in the Portugal international and could well step up the chase for his signature.

Gomes, at times, found it difficult to meet the expectations of the home crowd last term, with former Barca coach Luis Enrique being critical of the midfielder.

The 23-year-old did not travel with the Blaugrana squad to the United States and was granted further holiday time after participating in the Confederations Cup with Portugal.
