Ivan Fresneda (Valladolid)
He holds several offers but prefers to wear the azulgrana
The young winger Iván Fresneda (18 years old), a Real Valladolid footballer, was preferred by the sports management of Barça to occupy the right lane of defense, a position in which there is no specialist, but the Catalans are not the only interested in the player and if they don’t make a move in the next few days they will see how he got away.
The latest information coming from Italy indicates that AC Milan has started contacting the representative of Fresneda to discuss his possible inclusion in the ‘Rossonero’ squad this summer and that there will be a good consensus to close the deal.

Lo Celso (Tottenham)
Xavi liked it and didn’t put it aside
He is a midfielder with a good inside game and Xavi Hernández reckons he meets the midfielder profile sought at Barça to feed Lewandowski the ball. Among those who meet this profile is the Argentine who has been on loan at Villarreal from Tottenham for the last two seasons and his future is up in the air: a contract there until 2025. Lo Celso could be the last reinforcement for the midfield as long as there are some first Departures .

Yannick Carrasco (Atletico)
The purchase option has expired
Everything indicates that Yannick Ferreira Carrasco (29 years old) will not sign for Barça this summer. The Belgian is an alternative and the Catalans have a purchase option for 16 million, but the term for its implementation ended on June 30.

Sofyan Amrabat (Fiorentina)
Don’t give up and wait for an offer
Despite the fact that the Fiorentina midfielder wants to wear Barca, the club’s skepticism for him has made the Moroccan international consider other options. The Moroccan has a contract with the Viola club until 2024. Xavi is on his agenda, but he does not occupy a priority position in his list of midfielders in place of Sergio Busquets. Now he seems to be in the orbit of Manchester United, although he expects a move from Barça.

Fabricio Diaz (Liverpool Montevideo)
They see it as a bet for the future
The current U20 World Cup champion has become a coveted player. The young Uruguayan (20 years old) has been in the orbit of Barca for a long time but more and more teams are interested in signing him and that increases the cache of the player. José Luis Palma, president of Liverpool Montevideo, confirmed that the transfer price of the midfielder is 8 million dollars. At Barça they manage very good reports about Fabricio Díaz, but the sports management of Barça also clearly has other priorities and they will not bet on his inclusion unless there is enough margin to make the remaining signings.
