British tabloid The Sunday Telegraph claims that Barcelona made an approach for Manchester United winger and Portuguese international Nani (22).
The club is believed to have contacted Manchester United after the Champions League final in May asking about the availability of Nani. The English champions would have rejcted the approach.
Nani told the tabloid: "I heard something about Barcelona. It is good for a player to hear that the best clubs in the world want you to play for them. But my mind was only thinking about Manchester.
It makes me really happy to know that this club wants to keep me, it really gives me confidence. It's fantastic to know that, at a club like this, they are thinking about my future. I have never thought about going. I have been here only two years and want to do something for this club, to be part of its history."

Begiristain contacted Jorge Mendes, the agent of Nani, who was very clear when he told the sports director that a transfer was simply impossible.
Manchester United had just paid 25 million euro° for the player last summer and would no way allow Nani to leave after only one season. Barcelona understood the message and didn't even ask the English champions to start talking about a transfer.
