Barcelona still wants to add players to their roster before the transfer market closes on Thursday, and they have the financial flexibility to make more transactions.
Barça’s financial difficulties over the past few years have been well-documented, and they are still present.
Jules Kounde, a recent acquisition, has yet to be registered with La Liga, but they anticipate having him available for Sunday’s game against Real Valladolid at home.
The like of Bernardo Silva and Marcos Alonso remain on Barcelona’s radar, and Marca report that the club have roughly €57m left to spend on transfers in the coming days.
Barça chiefs decided on a €200m transfer budget at the start of the summer, of which they have already spent €148m on signings such as Robert Lewandowski, Raphinha and the aforementioned Kounde, while they have been boosted by the €5m sale of Ferran Jutgla.
Other outgoings, such as that of Philippe Coutinho to Aston Villa, have been used to strengthen their financial records from last season.
The pending sales of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Memphis Depay could afford Barcelona further financial muscle heading into the final stages of the window. 90min understands the former is in talks with Chelsea regarding a move, while the latter is being considered by former club Manchester United after a deal with Juventus collapsed.
