Barcelona are struggling to find a deal for Manchester City defender Aymeric Laporte.
Barcelona's chances of signing Laporte this summer have reduced, reports Sport.
From the Catalan club's point of view, for two reasons: the first being their struggle to move players. The second, the other priorities they have during the current transfer window when it comes to signing a top-level centre-back.
Barça like Laporte but there are other options they consider at a better level who are even younger -- Laporte is 27.
The club are working on various fronts, knowing that everything depends on the success of Operation Exit. Barca know things will speed up when teams begin preseason.
