According to Mundo Deportivo, City winger Jesus Navas is a target for La Liga giants Barcelona.
The Catalan side dispensed of Pedro Rodriguez to Chelsea in the recent summer window and are now reported to be on the look-out for another winger.
As we know, the unbelievably talented trio of Messi, Neymar and Suarez is undeniably the first choice strike-force for Luis Enrique but the sale of Pedro does leave them a tad light up top, especially if one of those stars suffers an injury.
Arda Turan is unavailable to play at present and he is more likely to slot into central midfield when he enters the fray.
That means that Barcelona could be exploring another option in Navas, along with the likes of Carlos Vela and Andrea Candreva.
The Spaniard’s playing time could be significantly reduced following the arrival of Kevin De Bruyne from Wolfsburg and he could be the ideal candidate to replace Pedro.
Navas is of course experienced for both club and country in Spain and has been a consistent performer for City, despite frequently lacking in productivity in the final third.
It’s easy to see someone like Navas at Barca and the fact so many of the Spanish National Team ply their trade for the Blaugrana could potentially sway the 29-year old.
The player’s homesickness issues have been documented over the years so it is a move that would actually make sense.
