Barcelona tracking Argentine keeper & Manchester United defender on shortlist
Barcelona have recently been linked with a move for a left-back and goalkeeper.
Barcelona sign Ferran Torres
Barcelona, despite their financial woes, have already been active in the January transfer window.
Barcelona signed Spanish international Ferran Torres from Manchester City for a reported initial €55m, with another €10m in installments.
Despite only just being able to register Torres after Samuel Umtiti signed a new contract with lower wages, Barcelona have continued to be linked with more players.

Barcelona linked with goalkeeper & Manchester United star
One of the latest players linked with the Catalonian powerhouse is goalkeeper, Agustin Rossi.
Rossi, 26, is currently plying his trade in his home country of Argentina with Boca Juniors.
The shot-stopper has featured on 103 occasions for Boca Juniors, keeping 47 clean sheets in the process.
And, according to Goal citing Spanish outlet Fichajes, Barcelona are tracking Agustin Rossi and have identified the keeper as a potential replacement for Neto, who is expected to leave the Camp Nou this month.
Rossi, himself, meanwhile is quoted as saying this about Barcelona’s interest:
“I’m a bit surprised for what may be. It’s good to be linked to a club, more so one like Barcelona. “We will see if anything arrives.”
Elsewhere, Gerard Romero, via Mundo Deportivo, is reporting that Barcelona are eyeing a left-back to compete with Jordi Alba.
Among the players shortlisted to fill this role are Manchester United’s Alex Telles, Juventus’ Alex Sandro, Ajax’s Nicolas Tagliafico and Raphael Guerreiro of Borussia Dortmund.
The report from Mundo Deportivo also claims that Barcelona are eyeing a left-footed centre-back, with Ajax’s Lisandro Martinez amongst those being looked at.
