Barcelona are playing in the Champions League tonight, but their management is busy doing transfer business. The Catalan side have to sell before they make big signings, but they are slowly getting there as per reports in the media today.

The report states that the Spanish side are going to make a €40 million bid for the Leicester City star. The Foxes, however, are not looking to sell their star player and are very likely to reject the bid if made.
Tottenham eye Barcelona defender
Tottenham Hotspur are looking to sign Emerson from Barcelona this summer, according to Diario de Sevilla. The report claims that Jose Mourinho is keen on signing the player co-owned by Barcelona along with Real Betis.
The left-back is currently playing for Betis, and the contract sees him remain with the Spanish side until the end of the 2020/21 season. Barcelona then have an option of signing him for €16 million but then report claims the Catalan side might sign him now and sell him to improve their financial situation.
