Barcelona have reportedly outlined Simone Inzaghi as a possible Xavi successor

 Barcelona are reportedly interested in making Simone Inzaghi their next boss in what could become a managerial arms race between elite European clubs. 

Inzaghi is having a storming season in the dugout at Inter Milan, who are top of Serie A by nine points. 

Barca consider him a potential replacement for Xavi, who is leaving at the end of the season - but they could face stiff competition from the Premier League.

That's because Manchester United, Chelsea, and Liverpool are all reportedly keen and have started gathering information about the Italian, according to Tuttosport. 

Barcelona's longing glances towards the 47-year-old have also been reported by Tuttosport, via Mundo Deportivo.
