The Brazil international is reportedly closing in on a world-record move to French side Paris Saint-Germain which will leave Barcelona in a desperate need to replace the superstar winger and with a lot of money to bring the replacement.

The Blaugrana are thought be considering replacements for the Brazilian and have drawn up a three-man shortlist which consists of three Premier League stars.

Barcelona's shortlist consists Liverpool star Philippe Coutinho, Chelsea winger Eden Hazard and Spurs midfielder Dele Alli.

Coutinho tops Barca's summer wishlist but the Spanish giants will not hesitate to move for Hazard or Alli if the Reds refuse to sell their star man.

Chelsea boss Antonio Conte has already stated that Hazard will remain at Stamford Bridge claiming he's happy to stay with the London giants.

He said: "He (Hazard) is very happy to stay with us and to play for Chelsea.

"I don't know anything about this situation. In the past I read a lot of stories about Hazard with Real Madrid.

"And now Barcelona. But this is the transfer market, we must understand this."

Barcelona heartthrob Lionel Messi is rumoured to be a fan of Spurs midfielder Dele Alli who has been a sensation for the north London club in the last couple of years.

He is also younger than both Coutinho and Hazard and Messi believes that the Englishman has what it takes to become an elite player.

Alli scored 23 goals in all competitions last term and helped Spurs to finish second in the Premier League.

Just aged 21, the Englishman could be a world-beater which is why Messi has demanded to bring the former MK Dons starlet. However, it would be quite a hard job for Barca to convince Spurs to sell.
