FC Barcelona could strike a big blow by strengthening its attack with a new winger, a priority clearly identified by the sports management and the technical staff. Among the options considered, the possibility of buying Marcus Rashford (6 goals, 9 assists in 17 games) remains on the table, but no decision will be made before the end of the season, his very high salary being a hindrance. At the same time, the Catalan club’s attention now turns to Yan Diomande, the RB Leipzig winger, who has impressed in the Bundesliga since his arrival from Leganés. Leipzig had bet 20 million euros on the 19-year-old despite an irregular season in Spain, and he is now an indisputable starter, author of three goals and as many decisives in 13 league matches.
According to BildHansi Flick recently recommended the player to Barcelona leaders. The German technician believes that the Ivorian could be the recruit needed to ensure Barça’s future for many years. The main obstacle remains the absence of a release clause and the interest of several English clubs, notably Manchester City. Leipzig already values the player at 100 million euros, but being a selling club, this amount could be negotiated.
