Despite their financial situation still being a big problem, Barcelona are determined to continuing improving the options available to Xavi Hernandez in his first team squad.

They look to be doing this already, with reports from Uruguay stating that they are close to signing Fabricio Diaz from Liverpool Wanderers Montevideo.

Another youngster that Barcelona could look to sign this summer is Abakar Sylla, with Sport reporting that they are interested in signing the 20-year-old. The Ivorian has impressed at Club Brugge this season, particularly during their excellent performance in the Champions League, which saw the Belgian side reach the knockout stages.

Sylla plays as a left-sided central defender, which is a role that Xavi has been desperate to strengthen in. Inigo Martinez look set to fill that void short-term, but with Sylla being only 20, he could be a long-term option.

It would remain to be seen how club Club Brugge would demand for Sylla’s signature, but it is likely that Barcelona’s financial predicament would rule out a deal this summer anyway. However, a move in the future could be a possibility

Inter Milan are willing to consider an offer from Chelsea for goalkeeper Andre Onana.

The Blues are keen on Onana as they prepare to shake up their own goalkeeper stocks, with both Edouard Mendy and Kepa Arrizabalaga potentially moving on this summer.

La Gazzetta dello Sport says Inter are aware of Chelsea's interest and would be willing to sell Onana for €40m. Onana arrived as a free agent from Ajax last summer.

A Chelsea delegation will be in Milan this week for talks with Onana's agents.

Meanwhile, Inter have already identified a replacement, with Empoli keeper Guglielmo Vicario a potential successor. Vicario is rated at €20m by the Tuscans.

Ex-Inter Milan defender Adani: Lukaku scored twice, but is still working at 60%

Former Inter Milan defender Daniele Adani feels Romelu Lukaku is improving.

Lukaku scored twice in victory over Empoli last night.

Adani said on Bobo TV: "Castellani's first half was not recommended for those who love football, they are matches that are often seen in Serie A where many balls are lost.

"Then the difference in quality between the two teams emerged: Inter have two teams, Empoli must renew themselves every year. In my opinion Lukaku is still very far from the player seen with (Antonio) Conte, but he's finding himself.

"In my opinion at the moment he's at 60%. He played a good game in terms of attitude, but he's not cheating on that. It wasn't enough for him to score one goal, he scored two with an assist. Take away the three points with two goals from Lukaku which are certainly a positive result in a decisive moment of the season."
