Sky Germany reports that FC Barcelona are investigating the possibility of signing Mohamed Simakan.

The La Liga giants are said to have made contact with the centre-back's agent.

However, Simakan's price tag is a stumbling block, with Barcelona in financial trouble and Leipzig reportedly demanding around €50 million.

Alongside Barcelona, Liverpool and Atletico Madrid have also been linked with the Frenchman.

Simakan's contract with Leipzig runs until 2027.
