FC Barcelona have not lost sight of Davinson Sanchez. The Ajax defender is improving and the Blaugrana are interested in the young Colombian.

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.

As SPORT published a few months ago, 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.

Barcelona’s thinking about centre-backs is constant. In recent months they have been looking at many options, including Yerry Mina and Uruguay’s Santiago Bueno.
