Barcelona told Chelsea star will cost €80m
The Spanish outlet reports that the Brazilian - who managed 13 goals and 8 assists in a back-up role at Stamford Bridge in the 17/18 season - is being chased by Barcelona.
There is a problem, however, namely that the Blues are reportedly asking for €80 million for the Seleçao man, even though he is already 29 years old.
It appears to be too much for the La Liga champions, though the attacking midfielder is very much liked by Ernesto Valverde.
It has been reported in recent days that Chelsea rejected a €56m offer for their man, which would have been a very useful boost to their transfer kitty.
The attacking midfielder has admired by Jose Mourinho, who worked closely with him in their days back at Chelsea.
Barcelona are looking for someone to replace Neymar, who played in a similar role, but left for PSG last summer for €222 million.
