Barcelona have drawn up an alternative plan should they fail to land Arsenal captain Cesc Fabregas.
El Mundo Deportivo says Barca coach Pep Guardiola remains determined to bring Cesc back to the Nou Camp this summer.
However, if a deal cannot be struck, Guardiola will give the green light for sports director Andoni Zubizarreta to buy a new defender and striker for the coming season.
The sales of Oriol Romeu (Chelsea) and Bojan Krkic (AS Roma) has handed Barca extra spending cash for the remaining weeks of the market.
