Barcelona Transfer News and Rumours Tracker: Week of September 8

Barcelona's transfer ban might prove problematic to the club in terms of bringing new faces in, but it still affords the Catalans the chance to earn money from player sales.

Furthermore, promising youngsters can be loaned out for first-team experience.

Luis Enrique and the club can still make this work to their advantage if they are studious in their dealings.

Let's take a look at who is rumoured to be leaving the club. Check back throughout the week for updates.

Munir El-Haddadi

Arsene Wenger is an admirer of Munir.

The rumours of interest in Munir El-Haddadi from Arsenal just will not disappear.

According to Sport via Metro, Arsene Wenger is planning a double swoop in January for the Moroccan and team-mate Sergi Samper.

The Gunners are prepared to meet Munir's buyout clause but are hoping to get Samper on the cheap.

Barca are highly unlikely to be impressed with Arsenal's courting of two of their best young players and it remains to be seen if the promise of first team football is enough to turn the heads of these La Masia starlets.

Gabriel 'Gabigol' Barbosa

Barcelona have secured the rights to another starlet to emerge from Santos.

It's been confirmed via Kieran Gill of the Daily Mail and other sources that the Catalans have preferential rights over 18 -year-old Gabriel Barbosa, affectionately known as 'Gabigol' for his goalscoring prowess.

The deal was thrashed out as part of the Neymar deal to bring the player to Camp Nou.

It seems 'the new Neymar' is destined to follow in the older one's footsteps.

Sergi Samper

Sergi Samper is one of the shining lights of Barcelona's La Masia academy.

Make it all the way to the first team and he will become the first-ever canterano to have played at every single level of the club. Quite some achievement.

However, the vultures are circling. Naturally. According to Jamie Kemp at Inside Spanish Football, Arsene Wenger has tried for a second time to lure Samper to Arsenal, the first coming in 2011 when Hector Bellerin and Jon Toral made the move from Catalonia to north London.

Samper's release clause is set at only €12 million, however both the player and Barca have issued a firm no to the Gunners.

Dani Alves

Dani Alves could leave in January.

Dani Alves will leave Barcelona, that much is clear. The only question that remains is when.

Per Fichajes.net (via Football Italia), Juventus are said to be in the market to take Alves in the January transfer window, but they are apparently unwilling to meet his annual salary of €6 million.

Should the Catalans consider a midseason departure for the Brazilian, there are sure to be other suitors ready to battle the Italians for Alves' signature. 

Adama Traore

Adama Traore is rapidly outgrowing Barca B.

Despite deciding against loaning Adama Traore out for first-team experience in the summer window, the Daily Mirror report that Barcelona may be willing to allow a short loan in January.

Mark Hughes has stolen a march on other suitors by attempting to use his close links with the club he served as a player in order to bring Traore to Stoke City.

Should Barca accede to his request, it will be the third time Hughes has plundered La Masia recently after the captures of Marc Muniesa and Bojan Krkic.
