FC Barcelona and Manchester City are currently said to be coveting the same player to strengthen their defense.
Samson Baidoo, the young central defender of RB Salzburg, arouses the covetousness of the biggest European clubs. And those who are most interested in his services are FC Barcelona and Manchester City.
According to AS, Man City have been following this young Austrian prospect for several months already. Barça recently joined the race, with the hope of being able to cut the grass under the feet of the competition. However, there will be no battle between the two continental big guns if the Eastlands were to be sanctioned for having broken the rules of the Premier League.
A behind-the-scenes battle between Barça and Man City?
The Catalan club sent emissaries to Austria to monitor the young defender’s progress, both in matches and in training. Last Wednesday, they did not have the chance to see him in action in the Champions League since their target remained on the bench during the match lost by his team against Sparta Prague (0-3).
Baidoo has signed a contract with Salzburg until 2020. According to the specialist website transfermarkt, his market value is estimated at €8 million. Not enough to cool off prestigious courtiers.
