Barca want Riise - report

Barcelona are lining up a £6m (€9.3m) bid to sign Liverpool's John Arne Riise, claims the Daily Star.

Barcelona are lining up a £6m (€9.3m) bid to sign Liverpool's John Arne Riise, claims the Daily Star.

The paper says Barca's under-fire boss Louis van Gaal has identified Riise as a key target when the transfer window re-opens in January.

Van Gaal is desperate to sign a left-sided defender after Fernando Navarro ruptured his knee ligaments at the weekend.

Riise has struggled to command a regular starting role at Anfield and may be tempted by a move to the Nou Camp.
