Bayer Leverkusen are launching a January bid for Barcelona defender Jean-Clair Tobido.

Kicker says Bayer are preparing a €10m offer for the French youngster.

Tobido only moved to Barca in January from Toulouse, but has failed to make a first team impression this year.

Barca are ready to do business with Bayer, but will insist on a buy-back option being included in the deal.

Watford have also been linked with Tobido.
