After being rejected by Nico Williams, the club is now looking at other options to fill the gap.

One of the players on their radar is Xavi Simons, a 22-year-old attacking midfielder who is expected to leave RB Leipzig this summer.

Simons is eager to move to a new club after RB Leipzig failed to qualify for European football this season, a first since their promotion in 2016-17.

However, Leipzig is demanding a high transfer fee of around €70 million for Simons, which might be a challenge for Barcelona due to their financial constraints.

Barcelona is also interested in Liverpool's Luis Diaz, but a move for the Colombian player seems unlikely due to Liverpool's reluctance to sell.
