Report: Julian Draxler wanted by Barcelona

Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Julian Draxler has emerged as a rumoured transfer target for Barcelona after his agent was spotted visiting the Spanish city.

Barca are on the lookout for new players following the loss of influential forward Neymar, who joined PSG last week for a world-record fee of £198.6m.

Reports in the Spanish press at the weekend suggested that boss Ernesto Valverde has already drawn up a three-player shortlist of potential options to replace Neymar - Philippe Coutinho, Ousmane Dembele and Inigo Martinez - but they are having difficulty finalising any deals.

Draxler could also be among the La Liga giants' targets, however, as agent Roger Wittmann has been spotted at Barcelona airport.

The Germany international, who skippered his side to Confederations Cup glory earlier this summer, only joined PSG from Wolfsburg in January for around £35.5m and the French club are said to be reluctant to offload at any price.
