    Barcelona boss Ernesto Valverde is pressing the club to land two more summer signings, according to reports.

    The La Liga champions have already been busy bolstering their squad in pre-season. An agreement was reached at the weekend for Bayern Munich and Chile battler Arturo Vidal, who will join Gremio midfielder Arthur, Bordeaux winger Malcolm and Sevilla centre-back Clement Lenglet at Camp Nou for 2018/19.

    SPORT state that as acquisitions for €128 million have been balanced by €92m of sales, the latest being Aleix Vidal back to Sevilla, Valverde wants a pair of other new faces.

    Another centre midfielder is needed to replace Paulinho after his return to Guangzhou Evergrande, while a reserve left-back should come in to fill in for Lucas Digne after he was allowed to join Everton.
