‘Barca interested in Giovinco’

The agent of Sebastian Giovinco claims Barcelona have shown an interest in the Toronto FC star ahead of a potential January swoop.

Little secret has been made of La Blaugrana’s search for a fourth attacker, and the diminutive Italian now appears to be on their radar.

Marca cites Andrea D’Amico telling Rai Sport that “contact” has been made, with the treble-winners asking about his client’s availability, while reports in Italy suggest Ariedo Braida, Barca’s international sporting director, has reached out to his countryman.

Giovinco, who turns 29 in two months and can play anywhere in attack, left Juventus for Toronto last January and has since flourished in MLS, scoring 24 goals in 34 appearances for the Canadians.
