Luiz Gustavo open to Barcelona move

Wolfsburg midfielder Luiz Gustavo has insisted that he would be interested in a move to Spanish champions Barcelona in the January transfer window.

The Brazilian joined Wolfsburg from Bayern Munich only in the summer, but has been strongly linked with a switch to Camp Nou in recent days.

"It's always good to have your name linked to Barcelona," he told Globo Esporte.

"This is the third time there has been interest from them. I have a long contract which includes a buyout fee, and if anyone wants to pay that, they can sign me."

Arsenal were also strongly linked with the experienced midfielder in the summer.
