The brother of Inter's French midfielder claims that Barça asked about him"

His versatility, valued by Barça, makes him an interesting prospect

Barcelona have shown an interest in signing Geoffrey Kondogbia, according to the Inter midfielder’s brother who denies that Valencia have made a move for the player.

In an interview with La Gazzetta dello Sport, Evans Kondogbia, the player’s brother and agent, explained that “a lot of clubs are looking at him” and highlighted two in particular “Barcelona and PSG have called to ask about his situation”.

Barça could be looking at the player as an alternative to Verratti and Paulinho given his versatility, which Barcelona are looking for in a new midfielder.

“Of all the names mentioned, I’ll only rule out Valencia; there’s nothing in that”, the player’s agent said, adding “anything could happen in the next few weeks”.

Kondogbia, who signed for Inter for €36 million in the summer of 2015, has not settled at the Italian club, and has not been a key player for any of the four managers he’s played under. Nevertheless, the club are unsure whether to sell the player or renew his contract while they wait for new manager Luciano Spalleti to make his intentions clear.
