Barca rule out Carrasco and Felix as Dembele replacements (reliability: 5 stars)

Barcelona have ruled out Yannick Carrasco and Joao Felix from their list of options to replace Ousmane Dembele, according to Relevo's Jordi Cadero.

Barcelona's priority targets are a right-back and perhaps a centre-forward.

The club have already made an €8m bid to sign Ivan Fresneda from Valladolid to cover at right-back.

Barca will make a final decision on incomings when they understand how much FFP space Dembele will create by his exit.

But as things stand the Blaugrana may not sign a direct replacement for Dembele if he leaves.

According to the highly reliable source, Xavi takes Dembele's departure from Barcelona for granted and is highly disappointed about it.
