Barcelona are struggling to match the personal demands of Juventus defender Matthijs de Ligt.

Sport says Barca have taken steps forward in attack: signing Ferran Torres, renewing Ousmane Dembele's deal and getting Ansu Fati back from injury. Now they are looking at defence. De Ligt is of interest but his huge salary cannot be paidcovered

He's always tempted Barcelona but chose Juventus when the Catalans signed Frenkie de Jong from Ajax. Juve want to sell him as they are in financial difficulty. His agent is Mino Raiola, who Barca president Joan Laporta met in Turin last week.

For anything to happen, Philippe Coutinho must go. The Brazilian's huge salary has to be cleared off the books if De Ligt is to be seriously considered.
