The buildup to the summer transfer window has now begun, with rumours and speculation continuing to swirl as Barcelona eye possible reinforcements.
The Spanish champions spent big on Antoine Griezmann during the summer but missed out on a big-name striker in January, leading to speculation that they could splash the cash again when the window reopens.
Here, Sports Mole rounds up the latest transfer news from the Camp Nou.
Monday morning's Barcelona transfer talk news roundup:

Liverpool have reportedly ended their interest in Wolverhampton Wanderers winger Adama Traore.
The Spaniard enjoyed a strong campaign at Molineux during the 2019-20 season, registering four goals and nine assists in the Premier League for Nuno Espirito Santo's side as Wolves finished seventh in the table.
Traore has been linked with a host of top European sides following his impressive displays for Wolves, but the West Midlands outfit are supposedly desperate to keep hold of the winger ahead of next season.
According to The Mirror, Jurgen Klopp is now eyeing up other options after Wolves made it clear that Traore is not for sale.
The report claims that the Liverpool manager has now set his sights on Leicester City's Harvey Barnes, with Klopp looking to bolster his attacking options before the Reds look to defend their Premier League title next season.
Manchester City, Barcelona, Real Madrid and Juventus have all been credited with an interest in Traore in recent months.
Antonio Conte dismisses Lionel Messi rumours

Inter Milan boss Antonio Conte has denied suggestions that his team could sign Barcelona attacker Lionel Messi at the end of the 2020-21 campaign.
A recent report claimed that the Italian giants were confident of pulling off a deal for the Argentina international when his contract at Camp Nou expires next summer.
However, Conte has branded the rumours "fantasy football", insisting that it would be almost impossible for the Serie A outfit to complete a move for the 33-year-old.
"We are talking about fantasy football, situations that at the moment cannot be linked to Inter. There's nobody who doesn't want Messi. But such a situation is very, very, very far from Inter," Conte told reporters.
Messi was hugely critical of his club in the aftermath of their 2-1 loss to Osasuna on July 16, with the Catalan giants conceding this season's La Liga title to Real Madrid.
The South American has again been in excellent form at club level this term, scoring 30 times and contributing 26 assists in 42 appearances in all competitions.
