Dani Olmo.
Tottenham Hotspur are interested in Dani Olmo, according to Fichajes. The Spanish midfielder was outstanding for Barcelona last season and has turned heads at north London.
Olmo registered 12 goals and seven assists from 39 games across competitions for the Catalans last campaign. However, the LaLiga champions are willing to consider his exit to ease their financial burden.
Barcelona are well covered in the position thanks to the emergence of Fermin Lopez, and Gavi's return from injury. While Olmo is highly regarded at the Camp Nou, the club hierarchy are ready to make a sacrifice to help adjust their monetary issues.
Tottenham Hotspur are keeping a close eye on the situation and are willing to prise the 27-year-old away. Spurs are looking to inject a shot of creativity into their roster following the recent injury to James Maddison.
Olmo has all the attributes to be a good fit for the job. The English side are apparently willing to offer €70m for the player, which could be enough to convince the Catalans.
Barcelona want Dusan Vlahovic

Dusan Vlahovic
Barcelona have set their sights on Dusan Vlahovic, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport via Mundo Deportivo. The LaLiga champions are laying down succession plans for Robert Lewandowski, who will turn 37 next week.
The Polish striker's contract with the Catalans expires in less than 12 months, adding to speculation regarding his future. Vlahovic, meanwhile, has also entered the final year of his deal with Juventus, who are eager to move him to avoid losing him for free in 2026.
Barcelona and Newcastle United are among the clubs eyeing the situation with interest. Vlahovic hasn't been in his element for the Bianconeri of late, but his stock remains high. However, he is one of the highest-paid stars at Turin, and his wages could pose a problem for the Spanish champions.
Ibrahima Konate ready to join Catalans

Ibrahima Konate
Ibrahima Konate is open to a move to Barcelona, according to Sempre Barca. The French defender is in the final year of his contract with Liverpool, and hasn't agreed to an extension yet.
Konate has been quite impressive for the Reds in recent years, and has admirers at clubs across the continent. Interestingly, the Catalans have already taken advantage of his contract situation to initiate contract talks.
The LaLiga champions are in the market for a new central defender following Inigo Martinez's move to Al-Nassr this month and found their man in Konate. However, the 26-year-old is apparently determined to stay at Liverpool at the moment, and wants to see if the club offer him a new deal.
