Barcelona brought in Marcus Rashford on loan from Man United in the summer, and although he has started well in Catalonia, there are doubts about whether he will be signed on a permanent basis. Instead, a winger that can operate on both wings could be brought in instead to compete with Lamine Yamal and Raphinha and that player could end up being Pedro Neto.

The Catalans reportedly see him to be very similar to Pedri in terms of his profile and thus see him to be a very valuable talent who can flourish at the club. In particular, Barcelona reportedly value Smit's ability to play between lines with ease, his creativity and style of play - all of which they see to complement Barcelona's style.

I think it's (Nathaniel Brown) more a long-term target rather than one for January. It's not a priority right now, they've (Man City) got Nico O'Reilly really impressing at left-back, impressing so much that he has broken into the England team. They've got (Rayan) Ait-Nouri working his way back to fitness...he impressed before picking up that injury. I don't think it's a priority for City to bring in a left back.
