Barcelona reportedly want to sign a young centre-back on loan in the January transfer window, with Chelsea starlet Andreas Christensen and Cologne's Jorge Mere said to be on their list of targets.
Per Sport (h/t Football Espana), the Blaugrana are keen to add depth to their defensive options as a result of the injury issues suffered by Samuel Umtiti. The France international is said to possibly require surgery on his knee, which would leave him on the sidelines for a sizeable spell.
The club are reportedly looking to bring someone in on a temporary basis until the end of the campaign, with Christensen and Mere reportedly identified as possible options for the Catalan giants.
