British tabloid News of the World claims that Barcelona is interested in Manchester United left back defender and French international Patrice Evra (27).

Barcelona scouts would have made several trips to England to monitor the Frenchman’s form and fitness and the club would be preparing to make a bid of 22,5 million euro° at the end of the current season.

Barcelona would want Evra to replace his French compatriot Eric Abidal and Evra, whose contract with the English champions expires in 2012, could be tempted by the offer.

Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson rates Evra highly but sees Brazilian twins Rafael and Fabio Da Silva as his long-term full-backs and could therefore be willing to cash in on the French defender as he freshens up his squad.
