FC Barcelona accelerates for 2 new players

This summer again, FC Barcelona is experiencing a very complicated transfer window. There is no point in dwelling on the club’s enormous financial problems and its setbacks with La Liga’s financial fair play, but they explain why the club has been so discreet so far, with Pau Victor and Dani Olmo as the only arrivals just over a week before the end of the transfer window. The 2024 European champion has still not been able to register to play in La Liga…

However, we know that the club chaired by Joan Laporta is still looking for an attacking player. The Barcelona players seem to have finally digested the failure of Nico Williams, who was the priority target at the start of the market, and they have resigned themselves to sounding out other players. In the last few hours, for example, there has been talk of Rafael Leão, but the AC Milan star is a far from realistic prospect given Barça’s situation, despite the friendship between his agent Jorge Mendes and the Blaugrana management. The same goes for Luis Diaz, the Liverpool winger, who is out of reach of the club that is counting its money.

Two Ramadani players

The name of Federico Chiesa (Juventus) was also mentioned, and seemed to be a more affordable low-cost option. This Wednesday, AS explains that Barça’s management has stepped on the accelerator. Contacts have been made with the player’s agent, Fali Ramadani, as well as with Juventus. Barça is optimistic about this matter, and the player’s contractual situation, whose lease expires in 2025, is a major asset. The Turinese are also expected to ask for 10 million euros, while the player is even said to be prepared to lower his salary.

That’s not all. According to information from Relevothe Catalan club is reportedly targeting Almeria right-back Marc Pubill. A starter in the Spanish Olympic team that won a few days ago in Paris, the 21-year-old was very close to signing for Atalanta Bergamo, but his transfer ultimately fell through due to a slight knee problem detected during his medical. Pubil’s agent is none other than Fali Ramadani, who is already negotiating with the Barcelonans for Chiesa. He could therefore place 2 players with the Catalans in the coming days…
