FC Barcelona coach Tata Martino has expressed interest in recruiting the captain of the Danish national team, Daniel Agger, reported Danish media Wednesday.
Danish newspaper Berlingske said that Martino, who was officially announced as FC Barcelona's new coach last week, indicated a wish list to strengthen the team's defence.
Agger, who plays for Liverpool and Chelsea's David Luiz are the top choices in Martino's wish list.
According to the British media, Chelsea has turned down bids for Luiz from FC Barcelona several times, insisting that Luiz is not for sale this summer. Therefore, FC Barcelona has targeted to bring Agger to the Spainsh La Liga.
The Spanish sports newspaper El Mundo Deportivo reported that Agger was very close to transfer to FC Barcelona last summer. But former FC Barcelona coach Tito Vilanova changed the mind at the end and chose to focus on one of the club's junior players, not Agger.
Agger, 28, is highly rated for his techniques. He joined Liverpool in January 2006.
