The agent of Alaves defender Guillermo Maripan has revealed the interest of Barcelona.

Marcelo Contreras has made this claim.

"We proposed him to the sporting manager a month ago and they're considering the possibility, but it would be for summer," he told El Grafico in Chile.

"They have been looking at him for some time.

"The fact that Arturo Vidal and Munir are there is good because they know him."
