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 last summer but missed out on a big-name striker in January and have been hit hard by the coronavirus pandemic, meaning that selling players rather than buying could be their priority this summer.
Here, Sports Mole rounds up the latest transfer news from the Camp Nou.
Monday morning's Barcelona transfer talk news roundup:
Leeds United 'make decision on Barcelona attacker Rafinha'

Leeds United have reportedly informed Barcelona that they do not have the funds required to sign Brazil international Rafinha during this summer's transfer window.
The Whites were said to be weighing up a move for the 27-year-old, who is back at Camp Nou after spending the 2019-20 campaign on loan with Celta Vigo.
According to Mundo Deportivo, Barca approached the Premier League side over a possible deal and informed them that the attacker is available for £14m.
However, the report claims that Leeds made it clear to the Catalan giants that they 'cannot financially manage' to sign the South American before the deadline at the start of October.
Rafinha has made 90 first-team appearances for Barca but is not thought to be in the plans of the club's new head coach Ronald Koeman, who has taken over from Quique Setien.
Leeds will start their 2020-21 Premier League season away to Liverpool on September 12.
Barcelona 'preparing final offer for Lautaro Martinez'

Barcelona are reportedly 'preparing a final offer' for Inter Milan striker Lautaro Martinez.
The 23-year-old enjoyed an impressive 2019-20 campaign for his Italian club, finding the back of the net on 21 occasions in 49 appearances in all competitions, including five goals in six Champions League outings.
Barca have been heavily linked with the Argentina international over the last few months, although the coronavirus pandemic has had a huge impact on the Spanish club's finances.
According to Goal, Barca are lining up a final offer for the South American as they prepare for life after Luis Suarez, who has been told that he can leave the club this summer.
Suarez is believed to be a target for Juventus, but it remains to be seen whether the Italian outfit sign the experienced forward before the transfer window closes next month.
Manchester City are also said to be admirers of Martinez, who has a contract at San Siro until June 2023, as they look for a long-term Sergio Aguero replacement.
