Barça fell in the first leg of LaLiga against Las Palmas, and one name stood out above the rest: Alberto Moleiro. At 21 years old, he has been followed for some time by the blaugrana team and is a profile that is on Hansi Flick's table. He is highly regarded, and this visit was used to closely monitor his performance and expand the good reports already in hand.
Alberto Moleiro, once again a starter against Barça, is a player highly regarded at Camp Nou. He is mainly compared to Pedri, although the reality is that they are different profiles.
Moleiro stands out more playing on the wings, although he can also occupy the midfield, positioning himself behind the forwards. Las Palmas's '10' was really close to wearing the culer jersey, and now the interest has been rekindled.
Alberto Moleiro, closely followed by Hansi Flick
A few years ago, the name Alberto Moleiro was on Barça's list when Las Palmas was still in Segunda. The truth is that his signing was practically closed, to the point that all parties took it for granted. However, at the final moment, it didn't come to fruition, leaving everything in limbo and breaking off negotiations.
The idea with Alberto Moleiro was to carry out an operation similar to the one already closed with Pedri years before. An initial amount of about 5 million euros that, including performance and title variables, could reach 30 or 35 million. However, Las Palmas wanted more guaranteed money, and the operation ended up falling through.
In this regard, Deco has once again mentioned this possibility to Hansi Flick, who considers that, although Alberto Moleiro has a great future, he is not ultimately necessary at Barça.
Alberto Moleiro is liked at Barça, but...
Despite the fact that Alberto Moleiro is highly regarded and fits in, the reality is that Hansi Flick would prefer to allocate this potential money to other operations. In his position, there is an overbooking, to the point that someone like Pablo Torre is left with zero minutes all the time.
Hansi Flick's plan to strengthen Barça's squad goes in another direction, practically ruling out Alberto Moleiro... whose future involves moving to the Premier League if Las Palmas ends up relegating to Segunda.
