Barcelona have ruled out making any January signings, appearing to hand Tottenham an advantage in their Deadline Day bid for wonderkid Lucas Bergvall.
Both Barca and Spurs have made moves to sign the 17-year-old from Djurgardens in the final days of the January transfer window in a deal which could cost around £17million.
Spurs showed Bergvall around the training ground on Monday after sensing an opportunity to hijack Barca's bid for the midfielder.
While Spurs are comfortable financially, having already been one of the busiest clubs in the January window, Barca are wary of falling foul of Financial Fair Play rules and sporting director Deco has claimed the club's business is over for the month.
He told DAZN on Wednesday evening: "The demands of this club make it not easy to find players and with the Fair Play that we have. The [injury to Alejandro] Balde was on the 24th and that makes it more difficult.
"We have a quarry, we are recovering players and we will fight with what we have. And we have quality with what is in the squad."
