The market is in full swing. The clubs are not only looking for reinforcements, but also to find a new club for footballers who are not in the coaches' plans.
Barca received two offers, according to 'RAC1'. According to journalist Gerard Romero, Barca were offered the opportunity to sign Lille midfielder Renato Sanches and Atalanta central defender Cristian Romero.
Despite the fact both players were linked with Barca, the truth is they would not get a place in Barca's 2021-22 side. The radio station says that Ronald Koeman turned down the option to sign both players.
Renato Sanches, who could seem a good alternative if Saul does not join, was rejected by the Dutch boss as he does not see him as a Barca player in the future.
With regards to Cristian Romero, Koeman also said no. The boss believes he already has central defenders who are very similar and playing very well.
