FC Barcelona is preparing for an ambitious transfer market. Joan Laporta wants to strengthen several positions and take advantage of the club's economic improvement. For the first time in years, high-level signings are expected.
One of the priorities is the right-back position, as Flick doesn't consider Héctor Fort a long-term solution. However, the big news comes in the forward line, where an operation that excites Lamine Yamal has been reactivated.
Barça Seeks an Attacking Reinforcement
For months, the management has been working on bringing in a top-level striker. Laporta studied several options in the market, but none fully convinced him. The priority was to find a fast, unbalancing profile with an immediate impact.
Last summer, Barça was close to securing a star signing. However, the operation cooled when the player decided to stay with his current team. After that failure, other names like Rafael Leao, Leroy Sané, or Luis Díaz were considered.
A Change of Opinion After a Great Performance
Despite analyzing other alternatives, Laporta has changed his mind. His decision came after seeing a spectacular performance in the last international break. The striker excelled against the Netherlands and made it clear that he is differential.
Laporta has been impressed with his performance and has decided to reactivate his signing. Now, Barça once again considers him the best option to strengthen the attack.
Lamine Yamal, the Big Beneficiary
If this signing is completed, there would be a big beneficiary in the locker room: Lamine Yamal. The 17-year-old winger maintains a great relationship with this striker. His arrival would mean a quality reinforcement and, moreover, a special teammate on the field.
Meanwhile, Lamine would celebrate his signing, not everyone would be equally happy. Raphinha, who competes in the same position, could see his continuity at Barça in jeopardy.
Nico Williams Becomes the Priority Again
Laporta's choice is Nico Williams. His speed, dribbling, and imbalance make him an ideal profile for Barça. Additionally, his understanding with Lamine Yamal in the Spanish national team is another plus.
The Athletic Bilbao winger was close to landing at Camp Nou last summer. Now, his signing is gaining momentum and could be one of the big surprises of the market.
A Complex but Possible Operation
Nico Williams has a release clause close to 60 million euros. Laporta knows that the investment is significant but also strategic. His signing would mean a great leap in quality and would strengthen Flick's attack for the next season.
Barça is determined to try, although they must find the right economic formula. This summer promises to be very busy in Barça's sports planning.
