FC Barcelona is finally starting to move during this transfer window. Hansi Flick is already working with the players present at the restart, and those who arrive drop by drop depending on the various international deadlines. For example, the new coach of the Catalans should not recover his new European champions like Lamine Yamal or Ferran Torres for a few days. For Pedri, it will be necessary to wait even longer, he who is injured.
The Blaugrana club also has the ambition to provide a competitive team to its German coach. There is no shortage of big names. There is of course the case of Nico Williams who appeals to everyone at the club. It will be necessary to reach an agreement with Athletic, something that will not be easy. The Basques will not give any gifts to a player who has never expressed (at least publicly) his desire to leave his training club. It will be necessary to align with the €58 million of his clause.
Raphinha more than ever invited to the start
Another potential recruit who has emerged in recent hours is Dani Olmo. Like his left wing partner, he also shone in Germany during the Euro. His profile matches Flick’s needs and he has the advantage of knowing the Barça house. From the age of 10 to 18, the attacking midfielder spent time at La Masia, where he was not kept. He headed to Dinamo Zagreb, where he made his mark, before joining RB Leipzig. World Sports is talking about an offer of €60 million.
Attractive names are good, having the means to recruit them is another thing. Barça is still facing cash flow problems. It is necessary to sell in order to buy and therefore to part with elements present in the squad. Often announced on the departure, Raphinha is once again targeted by his directors. More interesting for his suitors, his price is falling. According to Sportif an offer of €50 million reaches the table of the Barça management, the door will be open while much higher prices have been announced in the not so distant past.
