Manchester United youngster Darlington Osuchukwu is set to leave the club this summer, sources have told Football Insider.
The highly-rated young goalkeeper is being chased by a whole host of clubs from across Europe, with Barcelona, Reims, Eintracht Frankfurt and Anderlecht all keen.
The 16-year-old has already decided that he will depart Old Trafford this summer, and he has no shortage of options to secure his next move.
Osuchukwu has been a key figure for United's U16s side, and has even featured on the bench for the U18s at times.
He has trained with the first team on several occasions, but has yet to earn his first professional contract or exposure to senior football.
United are now set to lose the emerging talent this summer, with Barcelona among those keen to prise him away.
Usochukwu joined United as a 13-year-old, when he left his native Spain to make the move to build a career in England.
He has since progressed well behind the scenes at Carrington, leading to him receiving recognition from England at youth level.
The young stopper had been earmarked for a huge future with the Manchester giants, but could now return to his homeland with Barcelona.
Usochukwu has been called up by Spain to represent their U17 side, as he looks set to turn his back on his involvement with English football.
He was a crucial part of the United side that tasted glory in the U16 Premier Shield last term, and featured alongside Kai Rooney in that triumph.
Former United chief scout Mick Brown recently told Football Insider that his former club are ready to accept an offer for Altay Bayindir this summer.
The 28-year-old gloveman featured just six times in the Premier League last term, and quickly fell into the backup role after Senne Lammens' arrival.
Brown has made it clear that Bayindir has no future at Old Trafford, and added that the recruitment team are already lining up Sam Johnstone to come in as his replacement.
He lablled the imminent move to bring Johstone back to his boyhood club as a "surprise," but also pointed out that there is no intention for him to be anything more than second-choice.
