Real Sociedad president Jokin Aperribay has acknowledged Barcelona transfer rumours for Adnan Januzaj.

The Belgium winger comes off contract in June and Barca are eyeing him for the January market.

At the club's General Assemby, Aperribay said: "We have had a sincere meeting. We have already put all the positions on the table. And hopefully it can be done.

"I do not think that his representative has talked about Januzaj with Barcelona, they are rumours that come out and I do not know to what extent they are true. The talks to renew are like this, he has an offer that if he accepts, he will stay, and if not, we will have to fight to be as high as possible this year."

On buying in January, he added: "We have not talked about it yet, there is no position on that. The coaches already know that it is necessary to strengthen the team, it will be valued, but it has not been talked about yet."
