Barcelona are eyeing frozen out Chelsea defender Toni Rudiger.

Sport says Rüdiger is one Barcelona's back up options in the event they don't manage to sign Eric Garcia from Manchester City this summer.

üdiger has had a number of fitness issues at Chelsea and appears to have fallen further down the pecking order following the signing of Thiago Silva.

Chelsea, therefore, are prepared to let him leave and Barça would be keen on securing him on loan for the season.

However, they will only sign a Garcia alternative if they're able to sell Samuel Umtiti.
