"In the sights of "Barcelona" was a defender rejected by A.Conte"

"Barcelona" team is intensively looking for candidates who could strengthen the team's defense.

It is reported that the Catalans are planning to cast their nets on London's "Chelsea" representative Branislav Ivanovic.

This season, the 32-year-old Serbian appears less frequently than usual in the team's matches and he struggles to gain the trust of coach Antonio Conte.

Meanwhile, "Barcelona" club is looking for relatively inexpensive defenders, as they want to allocate as much money as possible for Lionel Messi's contract extension.

The "La Liga" club is also in talks with Darijo Srna, a defender from the Donetsk "Shakhtar" team.
