Barcelona could be edging towards their first signing of the summer transfer window.
The Catalan giants are expected to be busy in the coming months as Xavi aims to reinforce his squad for their La Liga title defence.
Key exits will need to be covered, after veteran players left the club in the final months of the 2022/23 season, and Xavi is looking to add youth and experience to his ranks.
