Lazio defender Luiz Felipe admits he's flattered by interest from Barcelona and Manchester City.

Barca sports chief Eric Abidal is in the market for a new centre-half this summer - and Felipe is on his radar.

Felipe told Globo Esporte: “I saw that there were articles on the alleged interests of FC Barcelona and Manchester City.

"Of course, I am happy and proud of it, because in one way or another, it proves that the work is done well and that people have seen and appreciated it.

"I am a calm and very focused boy. I only think of leaving my mark on the history of Lazio."
