Having sold Georginio Wijnaldum to Liverpool for £25m and trying to get as much as possible for Moussa Sissoko, Newcastle are doing their best to get as much as possible for their star players.
Relegated to the Championship after a poor season, mostly under Steve McClaren, the Geordie side will now attempt to come straight back up, and seeing your best players go makes that even harder.
Another one of those happens to be Ayoze Pérez, according to Sport, who always tends to look lively with the ball in his feet, and his profile is one Barcelona could be looking at as they struggle to find a suitable backup for Luis Suarez.
The list of names seems to be shortening by the day, with most targets preferring moves to clubs where they will actually play, and it seems Barcelona are close to reaching the end of their A3 sheet of paper.
The Catalan newspaper state Barcelona are looking at young players who have experience in Spain, and Pérez has been a target for a few months.
However, the player’s entourage don’t know much else, which means no approach has been made about a move yet.
There’s still a month left, and if more players move or refuse to sit on the bench at the Nou Camp, Pérez could very quickly become priority number one for the La Liga champions.
