Amid an ongoing injury crisis at the club, LaLiga giants FC Barcelona are reportedly looking to make an "emergency signing" by completing a deal for a striker who was once on Real Madrid's books outside of the transfer window.
Barca were rocked when forward Ousmane Dembele was ruled out for five months with a hamstring injury, adding to the concerns the club already faced in attack without the similarly injured Luis Suarez.
According to ESPN, the Royal Spanish Football Federation is set to grant Barcelona special permission to complete an emergency signing outside of the ordinary transfer window, provided that the player is already registered with a club in Spain.
Earlier reports suggested that Barca were keen on bringing in Real Zaragoza forward Luis Suarez, but the latest update suggests that the Catalan giants turned their attentions elsewhere.
