"Premier League clubs monitoring Atletico fixtures have been impressed by Barrios' development and maturity, with his profile appealing to several sides for different tactical reasons. Manchester City, Tottenham and Manchester United are among the sides believed to have taken note of Barrios. For United and Spurs, it could be partly from scouting missions at Atletico to assess Conor Gallagher's situation, as he has been touted for both."
"City sources say they see Barrios as a player capable of helping them control tempo, while Tottenham will view him as a technical midfield profile they currently lack. Manchester United, meanwhile, are on the lookout for a long-term solution as they plan a midfield refresh at a time when they are struggling to attract their prime targets. Barrios has a release clause of €120million (£105m), a figure that acts as a marker more than a genuine valuation - but places Atletico firmly in control of his future. Any move would still require a major financial commitment."
