According to the report from football-espana, Barcelona will almost certainly look to sign a new pivot next summer, with Oriol Romeu having failed to establish himself upon his return to the club this season. A younger alternative is wanted, although it must be noted that the Catalan giants will be restricted by their ongoing financial problems.

25-year-old Luiz is more than capable of being a long-term option for Barcelona, although there are plenty of doubts about this possible deal. Firstly, Aston Villa are likely to demand a huge fee in order to sell, which would make an operation almost impossible.
