FC Barcelona are apparently monitoring Roma's Argentine 'jewel' Matias Soulé as a possible reinforcement up front

Calendar of FC Barcelona

The FC Barcelona is apparently keeping an eye on various alternatives in the market for young and promising players, with the aim of strengthening a sports project that has faced a top-level generational renewal. In this squad, a core of elements where homegrown talent abounds has been forged, with several assets developed in La Masia, as well as other high-level players who have adapted exceptionally well to the style of play of the new 'Baby Barça'.

At this point, apparently FC Barcelona has added a new name to its list of targets to closely follow for a potential future signing. As suggested by the website 'Fichajes.net', this name would be that of Matías Soulé, a 21-year-old Argentine right winger who currently plays for Roma, a team where he has shown an interesting version of his game.

The 2024-25 season has been a period in which the Mar del Plata native has begun to stand out as a player for the 'Loba', a team with whom he is under contract until June 30, 2029. Soulé, a 'spicy' winger, with great imbalance and a pronounced creative and associative gene, currently has two goals in 34 matches played with the Romans. Although his numbers are not the most striking, it is clear that the forward can maintain a high level when he has continuity in his game, as he demonstrated during the 2023-24 season when he was on loan at Frosinone, where he scored 11 goals and provided three assists in 39 games.

Will FC Barcelona really bet on signing Matías Soulé?

The informative source that mentions the possible interest of FC Barcelona in Matías Soulé also highlights that the Blaugranas value the player's versatility in the offensive line. Despite being a right winger, the Argentine can play as an attacking midfielder, and on some occasions has been seen playing as a left winger.

Now it remains to be seen how Matías Soulé's game progresses and if he reaches a level high enough for FC Barcelona to consider him closely or even make an offer for the forward. It is likely that the price of the Marplatense is not so affordable, given that Roma paid €25.6 million for him in the last summer transfer market and probably is not willing to let him go for less.
