Spain’s Olympic star Marc Pubill has become the latest player to be linked with a move to Barcelona.

Relevo are reporting that Barca are still trying to add signings, despite their financial complications, and are considering Pubill as a back-up option at right-back.

Pubill was part of Spain’s successful Olympic squad, along with Eric Garcia, Pau Cubarsi and Fermin Lopez, that won gold at the Paris Games this summer.

The defender was set to join Atalanta this summer but a deal worth €15 million fixed plus €5m in variables fell through due to medical concerns.
