Barcelona's attacking triumvirate of Lionel Messi -- who reclaimed the Ballon d'Or on Monday night -- Neymar and Luis Suarez have been scoring freely all season, but Luis Enrique is still looking to add to his attacking options.
Schalke winger Leroy Sane is the latest young attacker to be linked with a move to the Camp Nou but, with wages taking up over 70 percent of their annual budget, Barcelona have said that they are watching their finances carefully.
"This is a difficult transfer market. No one wants to lose an important player at this time. But still, we will attempt to reinforce our line until the last day," Luis Enrique said ahead of Wednesday's Copa del Rey second leg against Espanyol. "For reinforcements to come we must negotiate and those negotiations are tough. It won't be easy for clubs to give up key players during this winter transfer window." [Source]

2015 Player of the Year: Messi, Neymar, Ronaldo?
Here's the breakdown:
Messi has won the award four times, having been beat out by Cristiano Ronaldo twice. The Argentinian superstar led Barcelona to a La Liga, Champions League and Copa del Rey last season, scoring 52 goals in the 2014/2015 season.
Ronaldo wants a third Ballon d'Or after 2013 and 2014 wins. But he has a tough hill to climb after a less-than-stellar season. He scored 57 goals in 2014/15.
Neymar, the youngest of the trio, scored 46 goals in the 2014/15 season, and took the lead during his teammate Messi's injury absence. The Brazilian has been a key member of Barcelona's powerful goal-scoring trio, Messi-Suarez-Neymar, dubbed MSN.
The Ballon d'Or ceremony takes place Monday, Jan. 11 in Zurich, Switzerland.
