Barcelona 'considering move for Mattia de Sciglio'

Barcelona are reportedly weighing up a summer move for Juventus defender Mattia de Sciglio.

The Spanish champions have allegedly reached an agreement with Juve for the signing of Miralem Pjanic, with Brazilian midfielder Arthur set to move in the opposite direction.

However, according to Mundo Deportivo, Quique Setien's side are considering approaching the Old Lady over a separate deal for versatile defender De Sciglio.

The 27-year-old joined Juve from AC Milan in the summer of 2017 and has made 61 appearances for the reigning Italian champions in all competitions.

Injuries have restricted the Italy international to just 13 outings at club level this term, although he has featured in two of Maurizio Sarri's side's last three Serie A matches.

De Sciglio has largely operated as a right-back during his career but has also filled in on the left, meaning that he could be an option for Barca if Junior Firpo were to leave ahead of next season.
