Planes was in Germany to scout prospected youngsters that are under Barca’s radar for reinforcements in much-needed areas of the squad. Mundo Deportivo reports defender Dayot Upamecano, fullback Jose Angelino and striker Timo Werner were all under Ramon’s surveillance.

Dayot Upamecano has been previously linked with a move to the Nou Camp as the Catalan giants continue their search for a center-back that can not only play alongside either Gerard Pique, Clement Lenglet or Samuel Umtiti; but also be a permanent successor to 33-year-old Pique.

Another player heavily linked with a move is forward Timo Werner, who is playing as a backup for the Lautaro Martinez deal. The 24-year-old striker is not only cheaper to sign than the Argentine striker at Inter Milan, at 60 million euros, but he can also play as a long term heir to the No. 9 at Camp Nou.

Ramon also witnessed Manchester City Loanee Galician Angelino, who will be playing for the Bundesliga side until the end of this season. The 23-year-old will remain a City player until 2023 but could be a potential signing for Barca as they look to strengthen their two fullback positions.
