- Reports from TNT Sports Brasil relayed by AS say Barcelona are monitoring 18-year-old Ian Subiabre of River Plate.
- President Joan Laporta’s relationship with representative Claudio Caniggia has opened channels for exploratory talks after multiple visits by the player’s camp to Barcelona.

- The deal contains a €30 million release clause that Barcelona are not expected to activate due to LaLiga spending restrictions.
