Coritiba: Yan Couto scores two goals for club's youth team
Barcelona could be set to launch a huge bid for Manchester United transfer target Lautaro Martinez. The Inter Milan striker has been linked with a move away from the San Siro.
The Cules are top of La Liga and through to the knockout rounds of the Champions League, but club officials are still apparently unhappy with the current squad.

Instead, new boss Quique Setien wants to bring in a new number nine as a long-term replacement for Luis Suarez.
The Uruguayan is out for the rest of the season after having knee surgery, and there are doubts over his ability to stay fit going forward.
According to Spanish publication Sport, Barca want to make a move for Inter Milan striker Martinez, and are keen to complete the move during the current window.
The deal could cost upwards of £94m, because the 22-yer-old has a release clause which makes him available to the Blaugrana.
