Barcelona are interested in Monaco winger Thomas Lemar, one of the sensations of the French football season. According to L'Equipe, the Barcelona technical staff are impressed with his evolution and will negotiate for his transfer at the end of the season.

His market price is around 30 million euros and they are convinced he will adapt perfectly to Barcelona's play.

Lemar has exploded onto the scene at Monaco, where he has played very well for two seasons. His signing was secured when he was 19, with Monaco paying 4m euros for him from Caen.

A natural winger, he can play on both flanks. He has seven goals in the French league, two in the Champions League and two in the French cup. He has also made his international debut for the country.

Barcelona have followed Lemar for more than a year. They see him as far easier to sign than Kylian Mbappe, his team-mate.

Robert Fernandez, as sporting director, has the main priority of signing a right-back but the club are also looking for a good option on the wing. Mahrez and Coutinho have been mentioned but at 21 Lemar fits the profile of player Barcelona have been looking for - with lots of potential.
