According to a report released today by Barcelona-based sports daily Sport, the Blaugrana will reportedly pursue four signings in next summer's transfer window in an effort to bolster their squad, which, in light of Pep Guardiola's verbal contract agreement, will be headed by the fiery six-title-winning coach.
The report claims Guardiola has given his technical staff permission to go to work, and, although nothing will be made public until June 30, the players pursued seem to principally consist of Valencia star and Spanish international David Silva, Arsenal captain and former Barca youth product Cesc Fabregas, a goalkeeper to substitute Pinto - possibly out of favour Atletico de Madrid keeper Sergio Asenjo - and a viable substitute for Dani Alves at right-back.
For their top two signings, Barcelona are anticipated to face stiff competition around Europe, as teams from England's Premier League and Italy's Serie A pursue the two highly-coveted Spanish stars. Real Madrid have also been rumoured to have the two midfielders high on their summer agenda.
