But the Catalans would be better off looking closer to home, as Munir El Haddadi continues to make a strong bid to be considered the "fourth man" up front behind the all-conquering MSN.

"I don't care if the fourth striker is a great dribbler or not — he must be quick and know where the goal is," coach Luis Enrique said recently.
