Laliga giants Barcelona are reportedly lining up a surprise move for Shkodran Mustafi who can leave Arsenal on a free next summer.
According to Diario Sport – via talkSPORT, Barcelona is looking for defensive cover and see Mustafi as a cheap short-term solution.
The Catalans currently only have Gerard Pique, Clement Lenglet, and Ronald Araujo to choose from in defence, and are in desperate need of options.
And they could get Mustafi on a free transfer as his contract with the Gunners expires next summer.
Reports claim that Mustafi has refused to sign a new deal and wants to leave at the Emirates at the end of the season.
The Gunners only have until the end of the year to convince him to stay before he can enter a pre-agreement with a club abroad.
His father recently spoke out on the rumors around his future and done little to re-assure Arsenal fans that he would be staying at the club.
