Report: Aurier agent in Barca talks

The agent of Paris Saint-Germain defender Serge Aurier has reportedly travelled to Barcelona to discuss a January move for his client.

Aurier's time at PSG has largely been harmed by off-the-field problems, including a well-publicised spat with former head coach Laurent Blanc earlier this year, which led to a one-month suspension.

The right-back was also found guilty of assaulting a police officer outside of a Paris nightclub in September, which led to the Ivory Coast international receiving a two-month prison sentence, although that punishment has been appealed.

It has widely been reported that the 23-year-old will be allowed to leave the French champions in January, and according to France Football, his agent Stephan Courbis has travelled to Barcelona to discuss a move to Camp Nou.

Sergi Roberto has occupied the right-back spot for the Spanish giants this season, but the Spaniard was heavily criticised for his performance in Barcelona's 3-1 defeat to Manchester City on Tuesday night.
