What Romero alludes to remains to be seen but it has led to widespread speculation.

Barca have had a blockbuster window, signing the likes of Robert Lewandowski, Raphinha and Jules Kounde.

The Catalan giants have been linked with a move for Manchester City midfielder Bernardo Silva.

Reports suggest Barca boss Xavi Hernandez hasn't given up on signing the Portuguese despite City's stance being that the player is not for sale.

Barca have kicked off their season with two wins in three fixtures.

The likes of Lewandowski and Raphinha have had no problem adapting to life at the Nou Camp.

Barcelona have spent £137.7 million so far this window and it appears the La Liga giants are done there.

Barcelona set to sign Arsenal right-back Hector Bellerin

Barcelona have reportedly struck a deadline day deal by agreeing terms with Bellerin to bring the Arsenal right-back to Catalonia.

Bellerin will not cost Barca as he found an agreement with the Gunners to release him from his contract.

The Spanish defender had returned to north London following a season-long loan at Real Betis where he won the Copa del Rey.

Bellerin is a former Barca academy graduate and left the Nou Camp in 2011.

Eleven years on he is on the brink of returning and will bring an abundance of experience with him.

The Spaniard made 239 appearances for Arsenal, scoring nine goals and contributing 29 assists.

Xavi Hernandez's side have been on the lookout for a new right-back, with Ronald Araujo having slotted into the role at the start of the new season.

Meanwhile, Sergino Dest could be headed to Villarreal with reports claiming the American is interested in a loan move to the Yellow Submarine.

The former Ajax right-back has rarely featured under Xavi and he appears surplus to requirements at the Nou Camp.
