Shakhtar Donetsk defender Dimitri Chygrynskiy is interesting Barcelona.
Barca coach Pep Guardiola is desperate to strengthen the left-side of defence and is attracted to Chygrynskiy's versatility. The Ukraine international is also comfortable at centre-half.
If Deportivo La Coruna continue to play hardball over Luis Filipe, Barca are expected to step up talks with Shakhtar about a price for Chygrynskiy.
