Barcelona have won 11 of their 13 games in the league this season under Hansi Flick. The German manager has taken his team to the top of the LaLiga table, six points ahead of second-placed Real Madrid, who have a game in hand.
Meanwhile, the Catalans are interested in Lucas Chevalier. Elsewhere, the Spanish giants are keen to secure the services of a Croatian midfielder.
On that note, let's look at the major Barcelona transfer stories from November 13, 2024.
Barcelona eyeing Lucas Chevalier
Barcelona have set their sights on Lucas Chevalier, according to SPORT. The Catalan giants are laying down succession plans for Mar-Andre ter Stegen, who is currently out with another knee injury.

The German goalkeeper has suffered from recurring knee issues in the past few years. The LaLiga giants are sceptical about his complete recovery and are keeping their options open.
Chevalier has been identified as a candidate for the job. The Frenchman has been outstanding between the sticks for Lille and has already turned heads at multiple clubs in Europe.
This season, Chevalier has seven clean sheets from 19 games and has also registered a 71 percent pass completion rate. The player received his first-ever call-up to the national team this week, highlighting his rising stock in European football.
The 23-year-old is under contract with the Ligue 1 giants until 2027 and is likely to cost around €25m. With the Nike deal in place, Barcelona may not have too many problems to get a deal across the line.
Barca want Martin Baturina
According to journalist Patrick Berger, Barcelona are planning to take Martin Baturina to Camp Nou. The Croatian midfielder is highly regarded in the European circuit and is also wanted by Real Madrid.
Recent reports have suggested that the Dinamo Zagreb man has already turned down a five-year deal from Los Blancos. However, Baturina is apparently ready to leave the Croatian club at the end of this season.
Barca are ready to take advantage, although they will face competition from Manchester United, Atletico Madrid, and Real Madrid. The 21-year-old reportedly doesn't have a release clause in his deal and is likely to cost around €20-25m.
Hansi Flick eyeing three free agents
According to Barca Universal, Hansi Flick has set his sights on Joshua Kimmich, Alphonso Davies, and Jonathan David. All three Bundesliga superstars will be available on Bosman moves at the end of this season.
Barcelona are planning to take advantage of the free-agent market again in 2025. A new midfielder remains on their agenda, amid the uncertainties surrounding the future of Frenkie de Jong. Kimmich could be a fantastic option for the job.
The Catalans are also eyeing a move for Kimmich's Bayern Munich teammate Alphonso Davies, as they aim to add more competition to the left-back slot. Alejandro Balde has been a first-team regular under Hansi Flick, but the Canadian could help the La Liga giants hit a higher gear.
Finally, a new striker is also emerging as a requirement for Barcelona, who are keen to lay down succession plans for Robert Lewandowski. The Polish striker has shown no signs of slowing down but will be 37 next August.
Jonathan David could eventually fill Lewandowski's boots and has already scored 13 goals from 19 games for Lille this season.
