The summer transfer window has now begun, with rumours and speculation continuing to swirl as Barcelona eye possible reinforcements.
The Spanish champions spent big on Antoine Griezmann last summer but missed out on a big-name striker in January and have been hit hard by the coronavirus pandemic, meaning that selling players rather than buying could be their priority this summer.
Here, Sports Mole rounds up the latest transfer news from the Camp Nou.
Thursday morning's Barcelona transfer talk news roundup:
Fulham 'make offer for Barcelona's Gerard Pique'

Fulham are reportedly in contact with Barcelona over a potential move for Gerard Pique.
The 33-year-old was again a key player for Barca during the 2019-20 campaign, making 45 appearances in all competitions, while he has now featured on 543 occasions for the Catalan giants in all competitions.
Pique is allegedly one of a number of players available for transfer this summer, though, as Ronald Koeman's side prepare to rebuild ahead of the 2020-21 season.
According to Libero, Fulham, who will be back in the Premier League next term, have made an offer for the experienced central defender with the hope of bringing him back to England.
The report claims that it is now up to Barca to decide whether to accept the bid, although it is unclear whether Pique would be interested in a move to Craven Cottage.
The Spaniard previously represented Manchester United between 2004 and 2008, although he only made 12 Premier League appearances for the Red Devils before returning to Camp Nou.
Josep Maria Bartomeu rules out "impossible" Neymar return to Barcelona

Barcelona president Josep Maria Bartomeu has reiterated that it will be "impossible" to re-sign Neymar from Paris Saint-Germain.
Neymar swapped Camp Nou for the Parc des Princes three years ago in a record-breaking deal but has since been linked with a return.
The Brazil international was the subject of much interest from Barca last year, with a couple of bids rumoured to have been knocked back.
However, Bartomeu has ruled out making a fresh move for 28-year-old this summer as Champions League finalists PSG are unwilling to part ways with the forward.
"Going for a player when the club he is in doesn't want to sell him is impossible," he told Barca TV.
"Last summer we tried. He is a player who, with the pandemic situation, his club does not put him in the market. It is normal. The big clubs want great players."
Barcelona are expected to overhaul their squad on the back of a hugely disappointing campaign that saw them fail to win any silverware.
Quique Setien was sacked on Monday and Ronald Koeman is expected to be appointed as the Catalan giants' new head coach on Wednesday.
