Barça monitoring Feyenoord, Mexico forward Giménez - source

Barcelona are tracking Mexico international Santiago Giménez, although the Spanish champions are aware that competition for the striker will be high and Feyenoord will demand a big fee, a source told ESPN.

Giménez, 22, has been in explosive form this season, scoring 13 times in 10 Eredivisie appearances and another two in his sole Champions League outing to date, a 3-1 win over Lazio.
