Catalan sports paper El Mundo Deportivo claims that Bayern Munich full back defender and German international Philipp Lahm (25) and CSKA Moscow left winger and Russian international Yuri Zhirkov (25) are on top of Barcelona's left back transfer targets list.
The club thinks the left wing offers too little this season and therefore wants to sign a left back and a left winger in the summer. With a transfer of Lahm considered to be very complicated, Zhirkov would be the main candidate at this stage, also because Barcelona manager Josep Guardiola prefers the Russian for the left-back position.
CSKA Moscow nevertheless doesn't seem willing to let a key player like Zhirkov leave (read more here) and the left winger is also followed by several other European top clubs, which makes that a transfer seems to be still a long way off at this point. Chelsea, Juventus and Real Madrid would also be interested in the Russian player.
