Barcelona has been closely following Osasuna's rising star Victor Munoz, who made a striking debut for the Spanish national team.
However, the Catalan club's pursuit is hindered by a contract clause giving Real Madrid a 50% stake and buy-back option on Munoz. This means half of any transfer fee would go directly to their fierce rivals.
This arrangement causes considerable hesitation at Barcelona, which is reluctant to fund Real's transfer dealings despite Munoz's evident talent.
With interest in Munoz growing from other clubs ahead of the summer window, Barcelona must decide if his potential justifies the financial and political headache of the deal.
For the moment, Barcelona remains cautious, monitoring developments without rushing to finalize a transfer.
