Police have found the passport belonging to missing X Factor star and rugby player Levi Davis, it is reported.
The 24-year-old athlete was last heard from on October 29 when he filmed a video from The Old Irish Pub in Barcelona, near the tourist hotspot La Rambla.
CCTV footage was earlier released of him leaving the bar at 10.05pm, having left Ibiza with only a small backpack earlier the same day.
Officers reportedly said his passport was discovered a few days ago, but did not provide any further information.
Spanish police are looking into the case after two unconfirmed sightings were reported in the coastal city.
Levi's family had apparently received a tip that he was seen in Placa Sant Agusti Vell, a homeless area and a square just minutes away from Barcelona's Arc de Triomf monument on Monday.
And just a week earlier, the same witness is also reported to have seen Levi in another square, near La Boqueria Market - just a six-minute walk from the Irish pub where Levi was last seen.
The former Bath rugby union star's mum has now cast doubt on these sightings, however, after visiting Barcelona to help retrace her son's footsteps before flying back to her home in Birmingham.
She told MailOnline : "This is a very worrying development because you cannot do anything in Barcelona without a passport.
"Besides travel, you cannot book into a hotel or even rent somewhere without one. We know that his phone and two bank accounts have been untouched since he disappeared and so this is another blow.
"There have been a few sightings of someone looking like Levi near La Boqueria Market and the Arc de Triomf monument over the last week but sadly we are not sure it's him."
She said the family remain hopeful but are becoming "increasingly concerned" as there have been no confirmed reports of Levi since the day he disappeared.
After the rugby player was reported missing, a social media appeal was launched.
CCTV showed him carrying a small black rucksack, while wearing a white short-sleeved T-shirt, black trousers and black and white trainers.
He had left Ibiza abruptly with barely any money, spare clothes or passport, according to his close friend Richard Squire.
He has not even used his bank cards since he vanished in the Catalan capital, and had only €40 in cash on him.
Spanish police said Levi's phone signal was last detected close to Barcelona's Sants mainline train station overnight on October 29, but the mobile has not been used since.
While theories have swirled around his disappearance, his mother revealed that he did not provide the family with an address of where he was staying as he planned to be "moving around".
She went on to tell Spanish Daily ABC that he suffered from depression and had gone missing on previous occasions - but for “no more than two or three days”.
She said: "He would always come back or we would find him but it’s been 12 days now and this is not normal. He must be disorientated or confused."
Police are understood to have also confirmed that Levi is not in hospital, and has not been arrested as part of an "emergency" response to a missing persons report.
Levi featured on ITV's Celebrity X Factor in 2019 alongside fellow rugby players Ben Foden and Thom Evans in a singing group called Try Star.
He also appeared on E4's Celebs Go Dating in 2020.
