Barcelona are set to step up their pursuit of Liverpool’s Daniel Agger, after failing to lure number one target Thiago Silva away from Paris Saint-Germain, according to reports from The Express.
The La Liga champions had made the Brazilian their transfer priority, but having only signed for the nouveau riche Parisians last summer he is set to stay in France.
Barca will now turn their attention to Agger, who is thought to be their alternative option.
The Dane has been a major hit at Anfield since his 2006 arrival from Brondby, maturing into one of the Premier League’s top centre-backs.
The Spaniards are believed to see him as the ideal man to provide cover for Carles Puyol and Gerard Pique, who have both suffered with injury on numerous occasions during the course of the past few years.
Liverpool are likely to resist any offer made, with manager Brendan Rodgers seeing Agger as one of his key players, thanks to his reading of the game and technical ability.
But, the defender himself could be tempted by a switch, with the chances of silverware likely to be much higher at the Nou Camp.
Agger is also wanted by Monaco, who could rival any offer from Barca.
Liverpool fans, is keeping Daniel Agger a priority this summer?
