Çağlar Söyüncü has been one of the key personnel in Leicester City’s defence this season.
The centre-back’s fine displays for the Foxes have seen him linked with a move away from the King Power Stadium.
On Friday, Turkey’s NTV reported Barcelona ‘want’ the 24-year-old and they plan to complete his transfer for a fee around €40m.
Journalist Miguel Rico, writing for the last page of today’s edition of Mundo Deportivo, has provided the Catalan club’s stance on the defender.
He claims the Premier League star’s ‘quality and age’ meet the demands of Quique Setién’s side. However, the Spanish club are facing a problem in bringing him to the Camp Nou.
According to Rico, ‘there is no money’ at Barcelona to acquire Söyüncü’s services this summer.
The La Liga side are in the market looking for a new centre-back, and repeat claims have explained that Manchester City’s Eric García remains the first-choice target.
García’s contract at Etihad expires in 2021 and two days ago, Pep Guardiola confirmed the 19-year-old has decided against signing an extension with the Citizens.
