Borussia Dortmund striker Lucas Barrios has suggested that he is being courted by clubs in Serie A and the Premier League.

The 25-year-old had an impressive past season in the Bundesliga, scoring 19 goals in 33 appearances and finishing third in the league's goalscoring race. His prolific play earned him a call-up to Pargauay's squad for the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.

"I still have four years on my contract," Barrios said in an interview with Spanish newspaper Ole.

"However, they say that Milan, Fiorentina, Manchester City and Napoli would like to buy me."

Barrios was a success at Colo-Colo before joining the German outfit in the summer of 2009.
