In a bid to shore up their not-so-impressive defence, Barcelona are in market for a central defender.

And reportedly, it is Shkodran Mustafi of all people they’ve turned to for it. Arsenal’s Shkodran Mustafi.

No jokes, because it’s already in the news..

You get a feeling this is some sort of farce or something? Barcelona want to have Mustafi, well. And it could be happening, really.

Of course, many do not think it the best move. And some even seized the opportunity to take hilarious swipes..

Not to paint but I don’t think that Mustafi is really that decent upgrade Barca need right now. Maybe he could improve alongside Gerrard Pique. Maybe not.

But Mustafi has been dire. Arsenal’s defence has been dire to warrant anyone wanting to have one of them, matter-of-fact.

He’s not played much this term all down to the summer arrival of a certain Gabriel Magalhães. But we all saw him return again yesterday, to ‘devastating’ effect.

Sideaction’s Latest:

Good luck to Barcelona should this come off, but whenever they start shipping loads of goals, they need no reminding where they picked a defender from.
