Barcelona are monitoring Chelsea defender Andreas Christensen.
The 19-year-old is on a two-year loan at Borussia Monchengladbach and has impressed with his performances in Europe and the Bundesliga.
Barcelona want a new centre-back for the summer and have sent scouts to watch the elegant Dane in recent weeks.

Barcelona are showing a keen interest in bringing the Chelsea defender to the Nou Camp in the summer
Borussia want to sign Christensen permanently but Chelsea see the centre-back as part of their future plans.
The defender made his senior debut in the Capital One Cup against Shrewsbury in October 2014, and he came off the substitutes’ bench against Sunderland for his first Premier League appearance in the club’s final game of the championship-winning season.
Christensen came close to winning the European Under-21 Championship last June, but Denmark were beaten 4-1 by Sweden in the final.
The maturing centre half has made 30 appearances for the Bundesliga outfit this season, scoring twice in the 5-1 victory over Werder Bremen in February.

Chelsea have already looked ahead at plans for life after John Terry with high hopes for the Danish defender
Meanwhile, Chelsea captain John Terry will miss Wednesday’s Champions League last-16 second leg with Paris St Germain with a hamstring injury.
Striker Diego Costa is expected to return after missing last Saturday’s Barclays Premier League draw with Stoke as a precaution due to a minor tendon injury.
Kenedy (groin) and Pedro (hamstring) are back in training, while defender Kurt Zouma (knee) is out for the season.
