Barcelona have reportedly turned their attention to an unlikely target to solve their defensive woes - the out-of-favour Atletico Madrid defender Felipe Augusto.
The Catalans' injury crisis deepened when Gerard Pique went off in tears during their 1-0 loss to Atletico last month, with their talisman likely to be out for around four months with a knee injury.
With no senior centre backs currently available after Clement Lenglet's ankle injury against Osasuna on Sunday, AS reports that Barcelona have added Felipe to their January wish-list alongside No 1 target, Manchester City's Eric Garcia.
