Barcelona are to consider a move for Bayern Munich full-back, Philip Lahm, come the end of the season. The young German impressed greatly in last years world cup, helping his country to third place in the competition and scoring an absolute corker in the tournament opener.
After losing Juliano Belletti to Chelsea at the end of the Summer and disappointing performances from Italian world cup winner, Gianluca Zambrotta, Barca are on the look out for an alternative full-back. However, it is expected that they will have to cough up around £9 million to persuade the German club to let him go.
If the Catalonia club were to get the 24 year-old, they would have a near world-class dream team; Lahm (possibility) Milito, Abidal, Yaya Toure, Deco, Lionel Messi, Henry, Ronaldinho, Xavi, Giovani Dos Santos and in my opinion, the one weak point, Victor Valdes.
So where does this leave Zambrotta, there is a possibility that he will stay and fight for his place against the likes of Lahm, but other sources suggest Spurs and both of the Milan clubs may make an approach for the 30 year-old.
