Barcelona line up Gregory Van der Wiel as possible replacement for Dani Alves

According to the Spanish Sport newspaper, Barcelona would be the player's preferred option.

Van der Wiel is an excellent, tough young full-back, who has a very good timing and technique, and decent dribbling skills for a defender.

He has won 20 caps for Holland, including five at the World Cup in South Africa.

Van der Wiel's contract with Ajax expires in 2013, and he is valued at €15M-20M.
