Leaders of Liga with 60 units and qualified for the quarterfinals of the Champions League where they will find Borussia Dortmund, the Blaugranas have so far a more than convincing season. Determined to win everything, Barça prepares the future at the same time. With this in mind, Mundo Deportivo said this Saturday that the Catalan high spheres wish to strengthen a particular position: the left wing of the attack.
Indeed, despite the impressive yield of Raphinha since the start of the season (27 goals and 20 assists in 42 matches in all competitions), the cups would like to enlist another profile capable of igniting the left corridor and bringing danger to low blocks. If this wish will obviously depend on the finances of the club, the Barcelona Board, on the other hand, has not awaited to draw up a short-list. And what short-list… Thus, the first name appearing in this cast of stars is none other than Luis Díaz.
Rafael Leao and Nico Williams still targeted, look coveted
Under contract until June 2027 with Liverpool, the 28 -year -old Colombian particularly appeals to Deco, who appreciates his power, his experience and his overflow capacity. A file despite everything complex with regard to the market value of the Reds player, currently estimated at 85 million euros. In addition to the native of Barrancas, Barça also closely follows a certain Rafael Leao. Linked to AC Milan until June 2028, the Portuguese international (38 selections, 5 goals) seems to arrive at the end of the cycle in his club and the cubs hope to take advantage of it.
Already interested in the profile of the former Lille last summer, Barça could therefore come back to the charge in the coming months. Like a certain Nico Williams. If the Spanish European champion, today in the colors of Athletic Bilbao had pushed the Catalan advances last July, he remains in the Barcelona orbit and Jorge Mendes still talks about him in Laporta. Finally, to complete this casting XXL, Ademola Lookman is also cited among the possible candidates for the position.
On the departure of the side of the Atalanta Bergame, the Nigerian international (23 selections, 6 goals) is not necessarily the number 1 priority of the cups but its contractual situation (it has a year of contract with the Italian club) could push the Catalan leaders to take action. If it is currently estimated at 55 million euros, a check for € 30M could satisfy DEA. One thing is certain, Barça activates behind the scenes and has already set its priority for the summer transfer window …
