Barcelona boss Frank Rijkaard would be interested in bringing Chelsea striker Didier Drogba to the Nou Camp - but not as part of a deal taking Samuel Eto'o the other way.

Earlier this season Drogba expressed a desire to leave Chelsea, comments he later admitted he regretted making.

With Eto'o and Thierry Henry leading the Barca attack and youngster Bojan Krkic rapidly rising to fame, Barca was looking an unlikely destination.

But Rijkaard confirmed he could be interested in a move come the end of the season.

"Eto'o is a player in our team and he performs very well for us," he said. "For that reason I don't see a swap deal.

"If Barca have the possibility of signing a player like Drogba we would have to look at it, but we wouldn't do a swap."
