Trezeguet has been heavily linked with a move to Barca over the past month or so, and the striker is said to be high up on new coach Josep Guardiola’s summer shopping list.

A few days ago Blaugrana director Ferran Soriano claimed that the club had ended its interest in the prolific Frenchman, who scored 20 Serie A goals last season.

“Trezeguet is a great striker but he is no longer a part of our plans,” he told Tuttosport.

However, the Corriere today claims that Barca are still desperate to sign the 30-year-old, and are prepared to offer Samuel Eto’o as part of an exchange deal.

Eto’o is looking highly likely to leave the Camp Nou this summer in search of a new challenge away from Spain. The Cameroon hitman, who has scored 89 goals in just 136 games during his time at Barca, would welcome a move to Italy.

It is also reported that Juventus may accept such an exchange, if Barcelona choose to make an official offer.
