Barcelona are said to be considering a move for Mario Balotelli.

Although the young Italian striker is highly rated by Inter Milan coach Jose Mourinho, he has been linked with a move away from Serie A in recent months.

Arsenal and Chelsea have been heavily linked with the 19-year-old just this week, but reports in Spain suggest Barca are plotting a summer deal.

The European Champions apparently see Balotelli as a long-term replacement for former Arsenal star Thierry Henry, who will turn 33 before the start of next season.
