Barcelona reportedly ready to move for Aaron Ramsey and John Stones

Barcelona are wasting no time looking for ways to bolster their squad now that they are allowed to register new players once more.

The reigning Spanish champions added a ridiculous 77 players to their books upon the lifting of their two transfer window ban, and now it's being reported that they will turn to the Premier League for a couple of marquee signings. Luis Enrique's side have been linked with Arsenal's Aaron Ramsey in the past, and the Sunday Express claim they will bid £50m for the Welshman in the summer. Another big-money target is Everton's John Stones, with the Catalan club not put off by Everton playing hardball with Chelsea for the player last year. The England centre-back is unlikely to cost less than £35m, but it seems Barcelona are prepared to spend big. Gerard Pique is already known to be a fan of Stones, having named the 21-year-old in his World XI, so could the pair become team-mates?
