Barcelona make Arsenal’s Hector Bellerin and PSG star Marco Veratti their top summer targets
Nou Camp side have already been in touch with Verratt's agent but negotiations with Gunners right-back will be much more difficult
HECTOR BELLERIN and Marco Verratti are Barcelona's top two summer transfer targets, according to reports.
The Nou Camp side have already been in touch with Verratt's agent but talks with Arsenal right-back Bellerin will prove much more difficult.
A tetchy Arsene Wenger was asked about rumours of Bellerin's proposed exit so soon after signing a six-and-a-half year deal worth £100,000 a week.
And he said: "It's very difficult to take these things seriously.
"He has just signed an extended contract with an unbelievable number of years to go."
Wenger's own future is up in the air but with Bellerin tied into such a long deal prising the former Barca kid will cost a serious amount of money.
And if it turns out to be too much the Catalans will consider signing Valencia's Joao Cancelo with Bayern's Joshua Kimmich also an option, say .
Barca could have more look with Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Verratti.
The Italian pledged his future to the club after they suffered the gut-wrenching defeat to Barcelona in the Champions League last-16.

But it has been reported that Nou Camp officials have already held talks with agent Donato Di Campli over a move.
Yet with PSG emerging as serious players at European level and with loads in the bank, the French champions will not be in a rush to sell.
Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, Inter and Juventus are all keen on Verratti too so a summer transfer war could soon erupt.
