Barcelona currently are serving a transfer embargo, handed to them over irregularities in the transfer of Neymar, and it has been widely reported that Jose Enrique is looking to strengthen his attacking option when the ban in lifted on January 1st.

The other five players that the Catalan club are looking at are five Ajax youngsters Riechedly Bazoer, Davy Klaassen, Jairo Riedewald, Anwar El Ghazi and Arkadiusz Milik.
