Barcelona transfer news LIVE: De Ligt, Griezmann, Rashford and De Jong latest

Barcelona transfer news - LIVE!

Barcelona find themselves in the curious position of potentially entering the summer transfer window as disappointed domestic double winners.

Ernesto Valverde's side looked odds-on for a superb treble campaign as they travelled to Anfield for the second leg of their Champions League semi-final 3-0 up against Liverpool.

However, a spectacular 4-0 collapse on Merseyside has threatened to completely overshadow their LaLiga title triumph, while the Copa del Rey Final against Valencia will be of scant consolation to Barca fans - or Lionel Messi, who had made the Champions League his main target this year.

Philippe Coutinho does not appear to be part of those plans after losing the trust of both the Barca fans and board, while Ousmane Dembele's injury woes make it increasingly likely that the club will seek out additional firepower.

Frenkie de Jong has already been signed, while Antoine Griezmann has informed Atletico Madrid his is leaving the club - paving the way for a move to Barca when his release clause drops to 120 million euros on July 1.

De Jong's Ajax team-mates Matthijs de Ligt and Donny van de Beek could also end up at Camp Nou, but Barca face a tricky task this summer as they seek top talent while also having to manage a huge wage bill.
