Transfer ban won't stop Barcelona chief Braida shopping

Despite their transfer ban, new Barcelona sports chief Ariedo Braida has been on a global scouting mission over the past week. Braida has made a new right-back his priority, says El Mundo Deportivo, as they seek to replace Daniel Alves.

A defensive midfielder is also on the Italian's agenda, with Barca now planning for the January market of 2016.

Porto fullback Danilo is on Barca's radar, though Real Madrid are favourites for his signature.

In midfield, Braida is tracking PSG youngster Marco Verratti, Juventus' Paul Pogba and Atletico Madrid ace Koke.
