Barcelona are keen to sign an attacking player when the January transfer window opens and have identified FC Basel's Arthur Cabral as their number one target.

Thiago Alcantara has distanced himself from speculation linking him with a return to Barcelona. The reds midfielder wants to make a success of his move to England before considering any future moves.

Barcelona have made enquiries over the availability of Hakim Ziyech and Timo Werner as alternatives for primary target Raheem Sterling. Xavi is keen to bring in an attacking player in January.

Barcelona director of football Matheu Alemany is optimistic that the club can agree a new deal with Ousmane Dembele despite the winger failing to respond to their offer.

Barcelona's latest recruit Dani Alves, who returned to the club earlier this week, is also trying his hand at convincing Ousmane Dembele that his long-term future lies with the Catalan giants.

Barcelona's plans to send Luuk de Jong back to Sevilla have been thwarted with the Andalusian club's president confirming that they have no interest in taking the striker back midway through his season long loan with the Catalan club.

Xavi's plans to strengthen his Barcelona team will be restricted due to the club's ongoing financial troubles. The Spanish manager will have a very minimal budget with which to work out a transfer plan.

Barcelona manager Xavi Hernandez is expected to welcome back at least seven players from injury ahead of his first game in charge against Espanyol after the ongoing break.

Barcelona wanted to sell Ousmane Dembele this summer but could not reach an agreement with interested clubs. The Catalan outfit are now eager to agree a new deal with the Frenchman, who has just seven months on his current contract.

Xavi is keen for Barcelona to tie down Ousmane Dembele to a new deal as a priority. The Frenchman currently has just eight months on his deal and can negotiate pre-contracts with clubs outside Spain in January.

Barcelona remain keen to sign Raheem Sterling from Manchester City, but the Premier League club want Frenkie de Jong included in any deal that will take the Englishman to the Camp Nou.

Barcelona are likely to be without star midfielder Pedri for a few more matches after Ronald Koeman confirmed that his recovery will take longer than expected.

Ronald Koeman is keen for Barcelona to agree a new deal with Ousmane Dembele and admits that they are yet to decide the course of action if he rejects the offer.

Barcelona's dream of seeing Jurgen Klopp take over the reigns at the Camp Nou is unlikely to become a reality with the German manager committed to Liverpool until at least 2024.

Ronald Koeman's future at Barcelona was under question following Champions League losses against Bayern Munich and Benfica. It is claimed that for now there is no imminent threat of the sack as long as they get back to winning ways.

Barcelona will be without midfielder Frenkie de Jong for their next La Liga game after he aggravated a hamstring injury he was carrying prior to the El Clasico.
