Roma fullback John Arne Riise
is emerging as a top target for European champs Barcelona.
Barca sports chief Txiki Beguiristain is eager about
strengthening the left-side of defence, particularly after
releasing veteran Sylvinho yesterday.
Sport says former Liverpool defender Riise is emerging as a top
target for Beguiristain, who has received feedback that the Norway
international can be signed for a knockdown £4 million.
Deportivo La Coruna's Brazilian wing-back Filipe Luis is also on
Barca's shortlist, but is rated closer to £10 million.
