Barcelona lead Candreva chase

La Liga giants Barcelona are considered favourites to sign Lazio midfielder Antonio Candreva in the summer.

The Italy international has attracted interest from top European clubs over the past year.

According to Sport Mediaset, the Catalan giants are ready to make a move for the 28-year-old, who is said to be eyeing a fresh challenge away from Rome next season.

It is added that Lazio would be willing to cash in on the player's services, should any club match their £26m asking price.

Candreva has netted 37 goals in 140 league appearances for Lazio till date.
