Barcelona are set to increase their interest in Lyon midfielder Tanguy Ndombele as a bidding war threatens to develop for the exciting young Frenchman.
For the second time this season, Ndombele ran the show against Manchester City in the Champions League as Lyon held the Premier League leaders to a 2-2 draw in France this week.
It had previously been reported that Barcelona were keeping an eye on Ndombele as a possible alternative to Ajax starlet Frenkie de Jong and Paris Saint-Germain contract rebel Adrien Rabiot.
The Mirror report that the Blaugrana may step up their interest in the 21-year-old after Ramon Planes, assistant to sporting director Eric Abidal, was in attendance for Tuesday's game at the Groupama Stadium.
