Barcelona have reportedly been keeping tabs on an exciting wonderkid as a potential replacement for Marcus Rashford. The English forward's Barcelona adventure is fast turning into one of football’s most surprising redemption arcs. With three goals and five assists in just ten games, Rashford is finally playing with the freedom and confidence that deserted him in Manchester.

Barcelona sporting director Deco has held meetings regarding two highly-rated Dinamo Zagreb youngsters, reinforcing the club's interest in one long-term target and making contact with another. The former playmaker was in attendance to see the Croatian side in action and is already laying the groundwork for future transfers at Camp Nou.

After a summer of rejecting lucrative offers, Ismael Bennacer is looking to revive his career after joining Dinamo Zagreb on loan from AC Milan.

Barcelona’s move for 16-year-old Cardoso Varela has angered Porto, who have accused his agent of pushing a controversial move to Croatia.
