Barcelona are ready to turn to Liverpool defender Dan Agger if Chelsea continue to refuse to do business over David Luiz.
The Daily Mail says they are concerned Chelsea are merely driving up the price and have countered by lining up a £15m offer for their back-up option, Liverpool defender Agger.
Liverpool insisted on Wednesday night that they have yet to receive a formal bid for the 28-year-old Dane, who failed to travel to Norway for the friendly with Valerenga but indicated any such offer would still be rejected.
