Once the agreement with Nike has been closed, which will mean an income of 120 million euros per season, FC Barcelona will look to make a splash during the next transfer window. The Catalans are allowing themselves to dream of the arrival of a 'crack' for the centre of the forward line, although they do not rule out the incorporation of a 'TOP' winger to accompany Lamine Yamal, Lewandowski and Raphinha in attack.
And the fact is that the market for top-level wingers offers several more than attractive options, since, while some could be leaving their teams for free, others are seriously thinking of forcing the situation so that their current clubs end up agreeing to transfer them in exchange for affordable figures that facilitate the operations. A situation that Spotify Camp Nou wants to take advantage of.
Barça's two great dreams and a 'hidden' player
According to 'SPORT', Barça's two main candidates are Nico Williams and Rafael Leao. The Navarrese is still on the agenda of the Catalans after his 'failed' signing last summer, and he would only stop being an alternative for the Catalans if he ends up renewing with Athletic Club and his termination clause, which would now be just over 60 million euros, increases.
For their part, the Portuguese is very much liked by the board, and Jorge Mendes, who does not represent him but does have influence over him, believes that he can force a favourable agreement with Milan. The striker is going through a difficult time at San Siro due to his bad relationship with his coach and would be open to an exit, but the 'rossoneri', if they decide to sell him, will ask for an astronomical price.
In Serie A there is also Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, whose renewal with Napoli is 'stalled' due to the Georgian's refusal to renew and the 'partenopei' could open the exit door for him so as not to generate a new 'Osimhen case'. However, Aurelio De Laurentiis is known for being a 'tough nut to crack' when it comes to negotiating and, almost certainly, he will not make his possible transfer easy.
Barça's zero-cost options
Finally, the Catalans are also 'combing' the free agent market and Mohamed Salah and Leroy Sané appear as two authentic 'sweets' for the forward line. The Egyptian continues to negotiate a possible extension of his contract with Liverpool, but the positions remain very far apart, while the German is said to be 'fed up' with his lack of participation at Bayern Munich and would seek prominence in a new destination.
Thus, at Can Barça they are preparing for a busy summer and any of these five names could be the protagonists of it, since they are differential players and fit with what is being sought in Barcelona. At the moment, the Catalans have not yet made a decision, but if the scenario is favourable, they will make an effort to make a splash by signing one of these 'stars'.
