According to Catalunya Radio, Barcelona are keen on re-signing former youth academy product Andre Onana. The Cameroonian currently plies his trade for Dutch outfit Ajax.

The Blaugrana will try to poach the 22-year-old if second-choice shot-stopper Jasper Cillessen decides to quit the club in search of more first-team football.

Onana joined Barcelona in 2010 as a 13-year-old before moving to Ajax. The 22-year-old has been in fine form for the Dutch side, notching 54 clean sheets in 121 games.

Onana's current contract with Ajax is set to expire in 2021.

Barcelona are set to lock horns with arch-rivals Real Madrid over Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Giovani Lo Celso, according to reports. The 22-year-old is currently on loan at Real Betis and has netted 12 times in 33 games for the Spanish outfit.

Real Madrid are also keen on landing the midfielder while Betis also have an option to make the move permanent for £19m.

Lo Celso joined PSG in 2016 from Rosario Central on a five-year contract. He featured 48 times for Les Parisiens last term before being loaned out to Real Betis this season.

If reports from Spanish outlet AS are to be believed, Barcelona are willing to fork out €110m to poach Saul Niguez from Atletico Madrid. The Catalans have been long-term admirers of the Spaniard, having tried to sign him in 2016 before he joined Atleti.

The mammoth fee would make Niguez the most expensive Spanish player of all time. However, Chelsea are also said to be keen on the player and are ready to shell out €150m to land him.

But, the Blues' recent transfer ban leaves Barca in pole position to sign Niguez.
