Villareal centre-back Mateo Musacchio is reportedly a top target for Barcelona ahead of this summer's transfer window. The Spaniard has been in sublime form for his club this season, and this has played a crucial role in their Champions League qualification.



Catalan daily Sport reveals that the Spanish giants are eager to make a move for a new centre-back with Javier Mascherano approaching the final years of his career.

It is added that Musacchio is one among the top candidates on the shortlist, given his excellent progress with the Yellow Submarines in recent years.

Barca had previously failed to sign the 25-year-old under Tata Martino during the 2013-14 season.

Musacchio has a £40m buy-out clause in his current deal at Villareal.
