At FC Barcelona, it is clear that the left wing is one of the positions to be strengthened for next season. There are several names being explored by the Catalans, with figures such as Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, Rafael Leao or Nico Williams as the main candidates of the sports management to give the squad a leap in quality.
However, the high figures handled in these operations force the culés to study other alternatives, and from Turkey they have assured that Kerem Akturkoglu is the great 'hidden' of the Barça entity.
The 26-year-old attacker is a figure at Benfica, who paid 12 million euros to Galatasaray to sign him last summer, accumulating 10 goals and 7 assists in 17 games and awakening the interest of several European clubs with his brutal performance.
In Turkey, Akturkoglu's signing for Barça is a given
In fact, former Turkish player Yasin Oztekin revealed that "I met with Kerem before the last matches of the Turkish national team. My feeling is that he will go to Barcelona this year, and he also has the ability to play for that team," pointing out the existence of contacts between both parties.
In Lisbon, Akturkoglu would have a 100 million euro exit clause stipulated in his contract, although the same would be negotiable since the Portuguese team tends to be a seller whenever a good offer arrives.
According to 'SPORT', Deco would be the player's great supporter at the club, since he would handle impressive reports of a forward who can move in all attacking positions and who stands out for being very fast in short distances and an excellent finisher inside the area, thus becoming a more than attractive option for Barça.
