Barcelona are closely monitoring Real Zaragoza defender Alejandro Frances, Sport's Toni Juanmarti report.

The centre-back is just 19, but already considered as one of the most talented Spanish defenders of his generation.

Frances represents an affordable option for Barcelona, as his release stands at €8m.

Barcelona are working hard to free up their wage bill in January, with the likes of Samuel Umtiti set to be shown the door. If that happens, signing the Spanish defender will be a piece of cake.
