Real Madrid have been blanked by Panathinaikos
Madrid sources say while Real are keen on the 20 year-old attacking midfielder, Ninis has made it clear through intermediaries that his first choice when leaving Panathinaikos will be Manchester United.
United boss Sir Alex Ferguson is considering Ninis as a successor for Paul Scholes and knows the midfielder's contract carries a foreign buyout clause of £8 million.
Barcelona are reported ready to rival Manchester United in a move for Panathinaikos playmaker Sotiris Ninis.
The Catalans will keep a close eye on the 20-year-old when Panathinaikos come to the Nou Camp for the start of the Champions League group stage on Tuesday night.
United have long tracked Ninis, a player who can operate on either wing or behind a centre forward.
AC Milan and Real Madrid have also tracked the Albania-born Greece international, but are already awash with attacking options.
Reports have suggested Ninis has his heart set on a move to Old Trafford, but Spanish sources are convinced that Barca can change his mind.
