Barcelona remain in the hunt for Ajax defender Davinson Sanchez.
Sport says Raul Sanllehi, director of the football area, has taken advantage of his great friendship with Marc Overmars, Ajax sporting director, to ask them not to make an operation involving Davinson without advising Barcelona first.
Barcelona accept they made a mistake not signing him last summer.
Differences in ideas over money and his potential role in the sporting project led to the player and his agent deciding to opt for Ajax.
