The head coach of Barcelona, Gerardo Martino, wants to strengthen the defensive line, reports "Mundo Deportivo".

According to the publication, the Catalan team has set their sights on three football players. They are Ramires (Chelsea), Luiz Gustavo (Wolfsburg), and Koke (Atletico Madrid).

It is believed that the Spanish champions will not try to acquire these players in January, as they hope to do so in the summer.

G.Martino has mentioned several times that he would like to strengthen several positions, and the English press also reports that Barcelona would like to attract Dimitar Berbatov, who would become Lionel Messi's understudy.

So far, of the three mentioned defenders, the most realistic candidates to strengthen the club are Luiz Gustavo and Koke.
