Barcelona are reportedly weighing up January moves for Manchester United attackers Jadon Sancho and Anthony Martial.
Sancho is widely expected to be on the move during the winter transfer window due to his falling-out with Red Devils head coach Erik ten Hag, which has seen him removed from the first-team set-up.
Ten Hag confirmed during his press conference on Friday afternoon that the 23-year-old is still not being considered for selection following the incidents earlier this month.
"Many of you ask me this so often, these questions, and I have said everything. I said everything," the Dutchman told reporters ahead of Saturday's clash with Crystal Palace.
Ten Hag accused Sancho of not training properly earlier this month, but the England international insisted that was false, and the pair have been in a stand-off ever since.

Sancho is said to be refusing to apologise to his manager, which is likely to lead to him leaving in January, and according to Mundo Deportivo, Barcelona boss Xavi is interested in the ex-Manchester City youngster.
The report claims that Martial is also being considered, with the Frenchman's future at Old Trafford also far from secure.
The 27-year-old's contract in Manchester is due to expire next June, although there is an option to extend the agreement until the summer of 2025.
Martial, unlike Sancho, is currently involved with the first team, and he has made six appearances this season, scoring once and providing one assist in the process.

Rasmus Hojlund is currently the number one centre-forward at Old Trafford following his arrival from Atalanta BC, with Martial back-up, although the striker did score against Palace in the EFL Cup on Tuesday night.
The ex-Monaco youngster has made 304 appearances for the Red Devils in all competitions, scoring 89 goals and registering 54 assists, but he has largely found it difficult to make his mark.
Barcelona boss Xavi is said to be admirers of both players, who are likely to be available next year, with neither believed to be in the long-term plans of Ten Hag.
The Catalan outfit are not expected to be in a position to spend big in January due to their financial problems, but loan deals are believed to be possible.
Martial is set to be in the squad for Man United's Premier League clash with Palace on Saturday, but Sancho, who has been banished from all first-team facilities, will again not feature.
