Barcelona 'interested in Legia Warsaw defender'

Legia Warsaw defender Michal Karbownik has reportedly emerged as a transfer target for Barcelona.

The 19-year-old has broken into the Legia first team during the 2019-20 campaign, making 22 appearances in all competitions and contributing six assists in the process.

According to Mundo Deportivo, Barca are interested in signing the left-back during this summer's transfer window, although a number of other clubs have been mentioned as possible suitors.

Tottenham Hotspur and PSV Eindhoven have also been linked with the teenager, who could allegedly be available for between £7m and £9m ahead of the 2020-21 season.

Junior Firpo was signed last summer with the view to battling Jordi Alba for the left-back spot this season, but the 23-year-old has struggled to make his mark at Camp Nou.

Karbownik, who has been capped on seven occasions by Poland at Under-19 level, has a contract in Warsaw until June 2021.
