A report claims that Barcelona join the race to sign Albania full-back Elseid Hysaj, who is currently contracted to Italian club Napoli.

Barcelona are reportedly interested in signing Napoli defender Elseid Hysaj after Euro 2016.

The 22-year-old, who is currently representing Albania at the European Championships, joined Napoli from Empoli in the summer of 2015 and made 43 appearances for his current club during the 2015-16 campaign.

According to Le10Sport, Arsenal and Bayern Munich are closely monitoring proceedings, but Barcelona have emerged as the frontrunners after scouting the full-back during the tournament in France.

Barcelona are expected to be in the market for at least two new defenders this summer having already lost Dani Alves and Marc Bartra, while Adriano is also believed to be nearing the exit at Camp Nou.
