Barça's Management Is Working to Complete Their Project, Aiming to Improve the Squad. Several reinforcements may arrive who can act as Lewandowski's substitute and also play on the left. Additionally, they are looking for a profile capable of covering various roles in Barça's defense.
But Barça is not the only one working on these positions. PSG is on the same path, also planning major moves, as Luis Enrique is clear about what he needs. Although he has built a solid squad, he knows there are still gaps to fill.
PSG Has Big Ambitions for the Next Transfer Market
Luis Enrique is not satisfied with what he has and will request several signings next summer market. Among his most notable targets is a player who is also on Barcelona's radar. Interestingly, he is a world-renowned center-back who could change teams this summer.
Both teams, Barça and PSG, are closely following the developments around him. In fact, his contractual situation is causing great interest, as he is close to becoming a free agent. The opportunity to sign him without a transfer fee represents a unique chance for both clubs.
Van Dijk in the Eye of the Storm
We Are Talking About Virgil Van Dijk, one of the best center-backs in the world in recent seasons. Van Dijk's contract ends this summer, and it doesn't seem like he will renew with Liverpool. This has opened the door to a possible departure, with Barcelona and PSG positioned to take advantage of the situation.
Last week, cameras caught Van Dijk talking with Nasser Al-Khelaifi, PSG's president. This gesture sparked rumors about his possible signing with the Parisian club. Despite Barça's competition, it seems PSG has the upper hand in this race.
Signing for PSG or Barça?
Van Dijk's presence in Paris could be more likely due to the relationship between him and Luis Enrique. The Spanish coach has already expressed his interest in strengthening the defense with someone of Van Dijk's caliber. These types of signings are key for PSG if they want to continue competing for the Champions League.
Barcelona is also interested in him, but their financial situation and Van Dijk's own desire to play in Paris complicate the negotiations. In this context, it seems PSG has a better chance of signing him.
