TRANSFER MARKET 2024-2025
FC Barcelona does not rule out the loan of Jérémy Doku until the end of the season
Deco wants to strengthen the left wing and the arrival of Jérémy Doku could be a very interesting alternative for the attack of the culé team
Jérémy Doku, one of the most promising bets of Manchester City, is seeing his prominence threatened under the direction of Pep Guardiola. In recent matches, the Spanish coach has opted for Savinho in his position, relegating the Belgian winger to the bench. This situation is compounded by the recent signing of Omar Marmoush, for whom the 'sky blues' have invested nearly 80 million euros, increasing internal competition and reducing Doku's opportunities to shine. In light of this situation, the player does not hide his discontent and would be considering a change of scenery during the winter market.
An unexpected destination: FC Barcelona
According to the latest information, Jérémy Doku's representatives have already begun to move in the European market, offering the player to several elite clubs. Among them, FC Barcelona has been one of the teams contacted with a clear proposal: a loan until the end of the season. The culé sports management does not rule out studying the operation, especially considering that the Belgian could bring very necessary qualities to the team's attack.
Doku: numbers that support his quality
With only 1,163 minutes played this season, Jérémy Doku has recorded 6 goals and 7 assists, a goal contribution per game that demonstrates his ability to make a difference in the attack. In a Barça in need of imbalance on the left wing, where only Lamine Yamal stands out for his one-on-one ability, Doku's arrival could offer a fresh and dynamic alternative.
Meanwhile, names like Marcus Rashford remain a priority on the list of possible reinforcements, although the emergence of the Belgian winger has generated interest in the offices of Camp Nou.
The salary dilemma of Barcelona
Despite the interest in strengthening the squad, Barça faces a harsh economic reality. The possibility of registering Doku inevitably involves freeing up salary mass, something complicated in the current situation of the club.
The entity has tried to find exits for players like Ansu Fati, Eric García, and Andreas Christensen, but none seem willing to leave the team. For his part, Ronald Araújo has recently renewed, which also reinforces stability in the current squad.
An uncertain winter market
FC Barcelona has a few weeks to make a decision regarding Doku, as options to strengthen the left wing are limited. Meanwhile, the Belgian continues to evaluate his options, aiming to regain prominence on the field and possibly start a new chapter away from Manchester City.
