Due to the financial blackhole that they currently find themselves in Barcelona have been unable to register new players and are constantly seeking new ways of adding extra finance as they seek to bring in additional transfers.

Xavi has already beaten Thomas Tuchel to Raphinha and Jukes Kounde whilst also securing Andreas Christensen on a free contract and ensuring that Ousmane Dembele didn't find his own new club as well.
