Barcelona chief Braida at Napoli to see Liverpool pair Firmino, Van Dijk

Barcelona's international scout Ariedo Braida was back in Italy yesterday.

Braida was in the stands at San Paulo to see Napoli's Champions League win over Liverpool with several players on his radar.

Liverpool striker Roberto Firmino is interesting Barca as a long-term replacement for Luis Suarez, while Braida also took the opportunity to run his eye over Virgil van Dijk.

Like with Suarez, Barca are also shopping for an eventual successor to Gerard Pique and Van Dijk is being actively discussed.

For Napoli, last night's matchwinner Lorenzo Insigne and defender Kalidou Koulibaly are also interesting Barca.
