Barcelona are ready to splash out on a new fullback after the season ending injury suffered by Aleix Vidal.

Barca have permission to BUY a replacement, so long as the fullback is a current LaLiga player.

Sport says the front office are considering several names, with Valencia fullback Joao Cancelo top of their shortlist.

Also being discussed are Michel Macedo (Las Palmas), Jonny Castro (Celta Vigo) and Ander Capa (Eibar).

Another target is Villarreal defender Mario Gaspar, who is rated at €15 million.
