Barcelona have reportedly identified Manchester City captain Vincent Kompany as their number one transfer target this summer.
A 7-0 aggregate thrashing at the hands of Bayern Munich in the Champions League semi-final illustrated the Catalan club's weaknesses in defence.
Barcelona sporting director Andoni Zubizarreta's has been a long-term admirer of Kompany, but apparently made an enquiry to Paris Saint-Germain about the availability of Thiago Silva.
After being firmly rebuffed by the newly-crowned French champions, Barca have switched their attention back to the Belgian centre-back, according to The Mirror.
The same report claims that Barca are willing to pay £20m for the 27-year-old.
