Asked about the rumours linking Olympique Lyon attacker Ederson (23) with several European top clubs, the player's agent Antonio Caliendo has said in an interview with Italian television channel Sky that Barcelona has been following the Brazilian:

"It's not a new thing that Inter Milan is interested in Ederson, they were already watching him three years ago. Now he's 23 and he had agood first year with Lyon. He has also been followed by Milan and Barcelona."

Caliendo repeated today that Barcelona has shown interest in the player in an interview with Italian football site Calciomercato: "At this moment there's nothing new but he remains a target for several clubs. Inter knows him inside out but Barcelona is also monitoring him. The asking price? Lyon has paid a lot for the player, so I think they will request at least 20 million euro°."

Asked about the future of Inter Milan right back defender and Brazilian international Maicon (27), the player's agent Antonio Caliendo has said in an interview with Italian football site Tuttomercatoweb that Barcelona is a possible destination for the defender:

"Yes, I think it's possible he moves to Spain, to Real Madrid or Barcelona, although you have to wait and see if Inter president Moratti gives his permission.

Maicon is one of those players who is wanted by all clubs. I think that there will be a lot of movement during the coming transfer window because there will be new funds available in Spain, particularly at Real Madrid and Barcelona. And I don't exclude that my client could also get involved."

Asked about the rumours linking Juventus forward David Trezeguet (31) with a summer exit, the player's agent Antonio Caliendo has said in an interview with Italian radio station Radio Kiss Kiss that he's convinced that Barcelona will again try to sign the French striker this summer:

"There is a lot of interest for him from England and Spain. It's the same as the last four or five years, we have lived the same situation during every transfer period. But in the end, Juventus has always managed to convince the player to stay.

Barcelona had in fact already kind of bought him three years ago but then Capello intervened and vetoed the move, which lead Juve to put pressure on the player, also through his family. Barcelona is certainly still interested in Trezeguet and has the intention to sign him. I think that they will try again this summer and that they could move soon. In one month, we can expect some news in that perspective."

In an interview with French sports paper L'Equipe, Caliendo repeated that Barcelona could be interested but that Trezeguet is now only concentrating on his club: "Over the last weeks I have received phone calls from English and Spanish clubs for David. But I've replied to them that David is at this moment focused on Juve and the Italian league."

Catalan sports paper Sport claims that Antonio Caliendo, the agent of Juventus forward David Trezeguet (30), will hold today telephone talks with Barcelona sports director Txiki Begiristain to explain the current situation of the Frenchman.

Trezeguet would have received the permission from Juventus to leave the Italian club and to start negotiating a transfer with interested clubs. The French striker would prefer to move to Barcelona (read more here).

Since Barcelona is looking for a centre forward with a different profile it's nevertheless very unlikely that Trezeguet will end up at Barcelona this summer.
