Over at Sport the news is about how Barca are keen to have both Carles Alena and Riqui Puig in the first team next season.

The club have decided to place more focus on their youngsters for both sporting and economic reasons which is good news for both players.

The report reckons the club have made the strategic decision to trust in the duo. They will both be part of Quique Setien’s first-team squad and will be given the chance to impress.

There has been speculation that both players could leave in the summer but Barca would only now consider selling either if they received a huge offer.
