Barcelona is interested in signing Leicester’s defender Caglar Soyuncu.
The Spanish giants are keen to bolster their squad especially their line of defence this summer.
The Nou Camp side has had defensive issues that have seen them miss out on this season’s La Liga title that they surrendered to archrivals Real Madrid.
In doing so, they are interested in signing Leicester’s Caglar Soyuncu.

Soyuncu has three more years on his current deal but has been in discussions for some time as Leicester seeks to recognize his status as one of Brendan Rodgers’ key men.
His former agent Mustafa Dogru, who negotiated Soyuncu’s move from Bundesliga side Freiburg to Leicester in summer 2018, has claimed that Barcelona is interested in the 24-year-old.
It is thought Soyuncu is now represented by the Arena 11 Sports group, based near Munich, who also have Liverpool pair Sadio Mane and Naby Keita on their client list, as well as Barcelona goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen.
Speaking to Spanish sports daily AS, Dogru said: ‘It is possible that Barcelona could sign Caglar this summer, as they wanted to sign him before he moved from (Turkish club) Altinordu to Freiburg in 2016.
“We negotiated with them back then, and they presented an interesting project. But we wanted a situation which guaranteed first-team football for Caglar, which is why we chose Freiburg. Liverpool is the only Premier League side that could sign him, but Paris Saint-Germain could also be an option.”
