?Robert Lewandowski's poor performances of late have attracted interest from leagues such as the MLS and Saudi League, Barcelona has always been clear that every player has a price but Lewandowski is their biggest player in terms of marketing if his performances continue then his future will remain in doubt.


?Tottenham is keen on signing Raphinha from Barcelona and is even open to potential swap deals involving their players, Cristian Romero is the player Barcelona likes the most as they've been following him since his Atlanta days but the club also likes Giovani Lo Celso but wouldn't swap Raphinha for him, Raphinha, on the other hand, doesn't want to leave Barcelona now and will reevaluate his situation in the summer.

?The club is in the market for a midfielder with a similar profile to Yaya Toure and has identified Bruno Gumiares, Amadou Onana, and Youssef Fofona as their preliminary targets, whether this would be considered a priority in the summer remains to be seen however the club are monitoring midfielders with the Yaya Toure profile.
