Barcelona have suffered a setback in their pursuit of a defender after a Serie A club activated a contract extension clause, according to reports from Barca Universal on Wednesday.
The Catalan giants had been targeting the unnamed defender, but the Italian side's decision to trigger the extension clause has effectively ended Barcelona's hopes of securing the player's services in the near term.
No further details regarding the player's identity or the specific Serie A club involved have been disclosed at this time.
