Diego Lugano, the captain of the Uruguayan national team, is being linked with a move from current club Fenerbahce to Spanish giants Barcelona. Barca already have Puyol, Marquez and Milito capable of playing in defence but are keen to add Lugano to their squad.

Teams linked with him in 2005 were AC Milan, Inter Milan, Real Madrid, Liverpool, Sevilla. AC Milan, Inter Milan and Real Madrid had refusals from Sao Paolo FC due to low fee offers, and instead he chose to join Fenerbahce.

However, it appears that now Barcelona may try their luck in signing the considered by Brazilian legend Zico as "the best defender in South America".

It is believed that Barcelona may have to pay up to £7 million to secure the Uruguayan's signature.
