Joan Laporta is considering signing the next Luka Modric. El Nacional has discovered that a player with great technical abilities like Adrián Bernabé is on Barça's agenda to reinforce the midfield for next season.
Adrián Bernabé has a past in the Barça youth academy and would be delighted to return to the team of his dreams. In the first team dressing room there are former teammates of his such as Ansu Fati or Eric García. Meanwhile, he's now triumphing at Parma, being one of the revelations of Serie A.
The aforementioned has highlighted that the price of Adrián Bernabé, defined as the new Luka Modric, is really cheap: 15 million. This is the price that Joan Laporta would have to pay to recover the youth player who's now successful in Italy.
What Barça is clear about is that years ago Luka Modric left to join Real Madrid. Now they don't want that to happen again. In Bernabé's case, it would be a double mistake: a youth player who is successful in Europe and who has a great future. The problem is the overpopulation that the Barça team has in the middle.
Adrián Bernabé, the new Modric that Barça could sign
At 23 years old, Adrián Bernabé is one of the great sensations of Serie A. His economic price of only 15 million euros makes him one of the most attractive players on the market.
Bernabé can play in various midfield positions and his contract with Parma will soon expire in 2027.
In 2018, Adrián Bernabé left La Masía to head to Manchester City's youth system. He left there three years later to join Parma, where he's now making a name for himself in Italy.
Barça now has the chance to get him back, six years after his departure and at a very affordable price. Everything will depend on what Laporta decides. In a difficult economic situation, he would have other priorities.
What's clear at Barcelona is that Adrián Bernabé has the potential to become the new Luka Modric. This is something that can't be missed, especially considering that he's a talent formed at La Masia...
