FC Barcelona, despite the great performances of Lamine Yamal and Raphinha at the start of the season, are still thinking about signing a winger to strengthen the position. Ansu Fati is still working on recovering his best level, while Ferran Torres' performances still leave much to be desired, so the Catalans are studying alternatives to make a leap in quality in this area of the field.
The option of Nico Williams has 'cooled off' after the player ruled out his arrival in Barcelona last summer to continue under Ernesto Valverde at Athletic Club, which is why the offices of Spotify Camp Nou already have a new great candidate for the next summer transfer market.
According to what was reported in the British newspaper 'The Sun', Mason Greenwood is reportedly gaining ground in the sporting direction of Barça thanks to his spectacular start to the season, where he has already scored five goals and an assist in his first six games at Olympique de Marseille. His performances have not gone unnoticed at the Blaugrana club, where they have been following his steps since his time at Getafe.
The possible offer from Barça for Greenwood
According to the aforementioned source, the Catalan club's interest is such that they have even spied on him in four games this season. In fact, the Blaugranas are willing to offer up to 60 million pounds (around 72 million euros) to secure his services. A significant figure that would be affordable once the renewal agreement with Nike is closed.
However, the Catalans would not be the only ones in the 'race' for Greenwood. Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich would also have the Englishman on their list of possible candidates, with the French team being one of the favourites in the 'bid' because the 23-year-old player would be happy to stay in France.
Luis Enrique's men need to strengthen their attack after the departure of Kylian Mbappé and the problems they are beginning to have with Ousmane Dembélé, which is why the signing of Mason seems key for the Parisians, thus representing a serious 'threat' for Barça if they finally decide to go for the former Manchester United player.
