Both outside and internal pressure is growing on Barcelona president Josep Maria Bartomeu over their stumbling market campaign.

With €222m burning a hole in his pocket from Neymar's sale to PSG, Bartomeu has seen doors slammed in his face as he seeks to spend.

Liverpool refuse to do business over Philippe Coutinho, Real Sociedad have pulled back from talks for Inigo Martinez and a move for Ousmane Dembele finished in a mess yesterday.

The France international skipped training without permission yesterday as BVB confirmed rejecting an offer from Barcelona in the afternoon.

Bartomeu has also made an attempt for Monaco whizkid Kylian Mbappe, but was quickly informed that he had no interest in moving to the Catalans.

The patience of many inside the club is running out - which includes several senior players within the Barca locker room.
