Begiristain: Barca have options

Barcelona's director of football has suggested that the club are keeping their options open for a signing.

With the rumour mill abuzz that Shakhtar Donetsk's Dmytro Chygrynskiy is likely to make a move to Camp Nou, Txiki Begiristain believes that the Blaugrana has other names in mind.

It was previously reported that Barca coach Pep Guardiola has set his sights on Chygrynskiy as the player to fill the position at Camp Nou.

Begiristain, however, does not share Guardiola's enthusiasm.

"There are alternatives to Chygrynskiy," said Begiristain, according to El Mundo Deportivo.

"He is not the only option. We will see what is most feasible."

Even with the transfer window closing on him Barca's director of football is unruffled.

"At the moment we are trying to close an operation in the transfer market, we have until [August] 31," he said.
