SAUL A BARCA TARGET

Barcelona could turn their attention to Atletico Madrid midfielder Saul Niguez if they miss out on Marco Verratti, according to AS.
The Catalan club are hopeful of bringing Verratti to Camp Nou from Paris Saint-Germain however the Ligue 1 side are reluctant to sell.
And Saul is seen as an ideal alternative, though Atletico's transfer ban could make negotiations difficult.
