FC Barcelona are reportedly interested in signing England international defender Nathaniel Clyne, according to The Sun.
The La Liga giants, who currently sit third in the Spanish top-flight standings, two points adrift of rivals and leaders Real Madrid, are understood to be eyeing a surprise £20m move for the Liverpool full-back.

The 25-year-old, who has 13 international caps for his country and featured for the Three Lions at Euro 2016 earlier this summer, has provided two assists in 12 appearances in all competitions for The Reds so far this season.
Clyne, who arrived at Anfield from Premier League rivals Southampton back in July 2015 following his reported £12.5m switch, is wanted by Barca to replace Dani Alves, who joined Serie A giants Juventus on a free transfer before the start of the 2016/17 campaign.
Boss Luis Enrique has seemingly not been convinced by either Sergi Roberto or Aleix Vidal at right-back, hence his pursuit of England defender Clyne, whose contract at Liverpool doesn’t expire until 2020.
