Barcelona move for Celta Vigo striker Maxi Gomez may stall

Barcelona's move for Celta Vigo striker Maxi Gomez may stall.

Marca says Maxi's lack of an EU passport is a concern.

His current buyout clause is €50m, but if Celta are relegated - and they enter matchday 28 sitting 18th in the table - that figure will be halved, which would represent a bargain.

At the moment Barcelona currently have all three non-EU slots unavailable with Arthur, Arturo Vidal and Malcom, so they would have to sell one of these players to make way for Celta's No.9.

There is no chance that Barcelona would allow Arthur to leave the club, although the same cannot be said for Vidal or Malcom.
