Barcelona are stepping up interest in Ajax defender Davinson Sánchez.

Cadena Ser says Ajax are willing to do business and have set a fee of €25 million for the defender.

Barcelona see Sánchez as a potential partner for Samuel Umtiti in the heart of the back four in the long-term.

Barcelona are eager to reinforce their central defensive options ahead of next season in the knowledge that Jeremy Mathieu is likely to leave.

Ajax's 20-year-old centre half Davinson, who made his debut for Colombia last November, is now on their agenda.
