Barça has stepped on the gas and doesn't want to reach the end of the transfer window with the work still unfinished. With Joan García announced and the arrivals of Nico Williams and Roony Bardghji finalized, Deco is going after the next one. The culer sporting director has focused his interest on a "9" with great potential who currently plays in Norway: Mikkel Bro Hansen, who is only 16 years old.
A "9" for the future
For some time now, FC Barcelona has kept excellent reports on Bro Hansen. He is a striker who stands 6 ft. 2 in. tall (1.88 meters) and is standing out in Denmark's youth categories. With a contract until 2027, the forward has scored 6 goals and provided 2 assists for Bodo Glimt, having already made his debut with the first team.
He is currently valued at just under 1 million euros, although Deco will bring him in for a bit more. Barça is expected to finalize his arrival in the coming weeks, with several options on the table. One would be to leave him on loan in Norway for a season, allowing his tremendous potential to keep growing.
The next option, and Deco's favorite, would be to sign him immediately and register him with Barça Atlètic. He would normally play with the reserve team, but would be involved with the first team as well.
"I can't explain anything"
Mikkel Bro Hansen has spoken in recent hours, as negotiations between his camp and Barça have become public. The culer interest is very serious, trying to get ahead of half of Europe to finalize this signing as soon as possible.
In statements to the TV2 Norway channel, Mikkel Bro Hansen said: "It's something fantastic, but I can live with this pressure, I can handle it. It's good that there are people who believe in me and think I'm good at what I do."
Finally, he concluded: "You must understand that I keep it to myself. Unfortunately, I can't explain anything about it."
Mikkel Bro Hansen and his tremendous potential
At FC Barcelona, they don't want to miss the opportunity to bring in someone like Mikkel Bro Hansen. Reports within the club point to a Haaland-type profile that would be very well received in the current squad planning.
With Lamine Yamal and Williams on the wings, a signing of these characteristics is considered extremely necessary. He would fit the project's average age and could develop while many titles are won at Camp Nou. He is highly regarded, he wants to come to Barcelona, and negotiations are already at an advanced stage, about to be finalized.
