FC Barcelona is preparing to host UD Las Palmas in a match that promises to be key to the club's aspirations. However, beyond the match, the blaugrana board has its sights set on a young talent from Las Palmas: Alberto Moleiro. President Joan Laporta has shown interest in Moleiro, whose quality could be the solution in several offensive positions.
The Talent of Alberto Moleiro
Alberto Moleiro, a 20-year-old attacking midfielder, has stood out at Las Palmas for his versatility on the field. Although his natural position is inside midfield, Moleiro can also play as a left winger, a position that has been a headache for Barça in recent years.
Despite transfers such as João Félix, the club is still looking for an undisputed starter in that position. Moleiro, with his vision, dribbling and arrival into the area, seems to be the ideal profile to bring quality to Barcelona.
The importance of Pedri
One of the keys to making Moleiro's transfer a real possibility is in Pedri 's hands. Both footballers share Canarian nationality and, in fact, have a close relationship since their time in the Spanish youth team.
Laporta knows that Pedri has a great knowledge of Moleiro, which could facilitate the adaptation of the young attacking midfielder to the Barça locker room. The relationship between both players could be the perfect bridge to convince Moleiro to make the jump to a team of Barcelona's stature.
Moleiro's contractual situation
Moleiro has a contract with Las Palmas until June 2026, which makes his transfer in the short term difficult. Despite this long-term contract, Barcelona are clear that he will be one of the targets to follow in the coming months.
The board's intention is to negotiate with the Canary Islands club to take the promising midfielder, although it will not be an easy operation. Las Palmas is delighted with Moleiro's performance and will not let him go without a good agreement.
The future of transfer
Although Moleiro will remain at Las Palmas for the season, Barça haven't lost hope of transfer him in the near future. Laporta and his team will continue to fight to close this deal as soon as the right conditions arise.
The relationship with Pedri, coupled with the young player's talent, could be a key factor in Moleiro's final decision. In the meantime, Barcelona will have to continue looking for immediate solutions in attack, but the future looks promising with the young Canary Islander on the horizon.
