Report: Barcelona considering move for Arsenal defender Shkodran Mustafi

Barcelona are looking to bolster their defence in the January transfer window, and have earmarked Antonio Rudiger and Shkodran Mustafi as potential targets, according to reports from Mundo Deportivo.

The Catalan giants are interested in signing Eric Garcia, but should they fail to land the Manchester City defender, they would turn their attention towards either Mustafi or Rudiger.

Gerard Pique suffered a knee ligament injury in November and the Spanish defender is likely to be sidelined for around four months. Garcia is Ronald Koeman’s first-choice target, but Mustafi has emerged as an alternative back-up option.
