The last update I read back in November was from Miguel Rico who is a very reliable journalist and he said Robert has to see him in action first before considering him and at this moment Robert didn't have any plans on watching him yet.

I thought there was already a 'pre-contractual' agreements signed.

Their is but to fully trigger it Robert himself has to green light it or so I read.
Nah, Sidibe was a great option 6 months ago, because he was excellent value and able to play both LB and RB and could cover Alba and Roberto. Now that he has signed for Monaco and been extremely impressive in the Champions league and his price has doubled, and we already have a LB, he isnt the best choice. Fabinho doesnt play RB but he is the best choice IMO.

Barcelona is reportedly interested in 18 year old French defender Dayot Upamecano, they ahve been scouting him according to several reports in Salzburg. He is apparently holding out for an offer from Barca, he currently plays for Red Bull Salzburg coached by former Barca youth coach Oscar Garcia. Who himself hopes to one day be Barca head coach. He has just recently broken through playing in 20 matches this season having moved to Salzburg in January 2016. He is an exciting athletic ball-playing defender, he is so comfortable on the ball Oscar has played him as a holding midfielder on several occasions.
He is described by UEFA.com as "Aggressive but not reckless, the gutsy central defender reads opponents well and shows good anticipation to win challenges". Highly rated prospect at his position in France.
Here is a nice primer on him by UEFA.com http://www.uefa.com/uefaeuropaleague/news/newsid=2406860.html?rss=2406860+UEFA.com%27s+weekly+wonderkid:+Dayot+Upamecano
