- Barca close in on targets
Barcelona are in advanced negotiations with several potential summer transfer targets, according to sporting director Txiki Beguristain.
Speaking after Saturday's season-ending 5-3 win over Murcia, Beguristain revealed the Catalan club are close to concluding deals that will shake-up the under-performing current squad.
Barcelona, who will be coached by former player Josep Guardiola next season, have been linked with several leading players from across the continent, including Sevilla full-back Daniel Alves and Lyon striker Karim Benzema.
Several reports in the Spanish press have also indicated that Barca are desperate to sign Bayern Munich winger Franck Ribery.
"We have some negotiations that are quite advanced," revealed Beguristain.
"Some are more advanced than others."
