Deco offers Lille goalkeeper Leo Jardim to Barcelona

Lille goalkeeper Leo Jardim is being offered to Barcelona.

Sport says Barcelona are looking at Jardim to take Neto's place on the bench for next season.

Deco, who now runs a football agency, has offered the board his man, who has just completed a season loan with Boavista.

Developed at Gremio, Jardim (1.90m, 26 years old), is typical of the goalkeepers that Barcelona like. He also has an Italian passport so won't take up a non-EU slot, and would not cost anything. His salary would also be lower than Neto's and that's good for Barca.

Jardim belong to Lille and his contract expires on June 30.
