Barcelona 'draw up five-man striker shortlist'

Barcelona put together a five-man shortlist as they prepare to bring a new centre-forward to the club, according to a report.

Barcelona have reportedly put together a five-man shortlist as they prepare to bring a new centre-forward to the club during this summer's transfer window.

The Catalan giants allowed Luis Suarez to leave Camp Nou on a free transfer last year, and the club have been light in the final third of the field during the 2020-21 campaign.

According to The Mirror, Ronald Koeman's side have identified five forwards capable of boosting the squad this summer, and Borussia Dortmund's Erling Braut Haaland is on the shortlist.

Haaland's future is currently the subject of much speculation, with a number of teams, including Real Madrid, believed to be desperate to sign the Norway international.

The report claims that Inter Milan duo Romelu Lukaku and Lautaro Martinez, Lyon's Memphis Depay and Manchester City's Sergio Aguero are also options.

Inter are said to be determined to keep hold of both Lukaku and Martinez, but Memphis and Aguero will be out of contract at their respective clubs at the end of June.

Lionel Messi, meanwhile, continues to be linked with a move away from Camp Nou, and the Argentina international is expected to seek pastures new following the expiration of his contract.
