Barcelona are prepared to pursue a deal for Real Betis left-back Junior Firpo following the departure of general manager Pep Segura, who was against signing the 22-year-old.
The Blaugrana are believed to be on the lookout for a new left-back to provide competition for Jordi Alba, with multiple reports suggesting Firpo is near the top of their wish list.
However, according to AS, Segura was not convinced by the Spaniard. He did not believe that Firpo was worth a significant fee, despite the pleas of first-team boss Ernesto Valverde to finalise a deal as soon as possible.
