Barcelona are ready to make a cash plus player bid for Chelsea midfielder Frank Lampard.
The Sun says the European champions are prepared to offer Portuguese midfielder Deco PLUS cash in a bid totaling £30 million to lure Lampard away from London.
Barca believe Chelsea signing of German skipper Michael Ballack could persuade manager Jose Mourinho to do business and let Lampard go.
Mourinho has claimed Lampard and Ballack will play together next season. But, intriguingly, Deco and the Blues boss share the same agent, Jorge Mendes.
Mendes was in London yesterday with Barcelona representatives to speak with Chelsea chief Peter Kenyon about Lampard's availability, plus a deal for Blues teammate Eidur Gudjohnsen.
Chelsea would want at least £10m as well as Brazilian-born Deco, 28, to even think about selling Lampard.
Barca believe Lamps can be tempted as partner Elen Rives is a Catalan who wants the couple baby daughter to grow up in her home city.
