Barça has been following him for some time and there was even a moment when his transfer was virtually settled. We are talking about Alberto Moleiro, the Las Palmas striker, whose long-awaited arrival seems to be moving away completely. Various reports indicate that Moleiro has two strong offers put forward and is leaning toward continuing his career in the Premier League.
This will be Alberto Moleiro's last year at Las Palmas and he is expected to leave next summer. At 21 years old, he has impressed everyone and it seems that his potential won't stop. He has an estimated price of 25 million euros and Mikel Arteta's Arsenal is willing to pay it. This option is particularly attractive to him and he is willing to head to London.
He has time to decide, but those closest to him are clear that Alberto Moleiro's future lies in the Premier League. This news has reached the ears of Pedri, who is a great friend of the Canary Islander. He has already passed it on to Joan Laporta, who has known for a few days that it's now or never. If he wants to sign him, he has to really go for him. However, this scenario seems very complicated.
Not only does Arsenal have an offer on the table. Al-Hilal also wants Alberto Moleiro and is willing to spend a fortune to take him. We would be talking about a move similar to Gabri Veiga's a few years ago. The most likely scenario, nonetheless, is his departure for the Premier League.
Pedri Asks Laporta to Sign Alberto Moleiro
With his young age and talent, Alberto Moleiro could bring the creativity and dynamism to Barça's midfield that is often lacking in the most difficult matches. According to various sources, Pedri would be willing to exchange Frenkie de Jong, who's not going through his best moment, to sign Moleiro.
This potential swap deal between Moleiro and Frenkie de Jong has sparked debate among fans. While some consider Alberto Moleiro could be a great addition to the team, others defend Frenkie de Jong, arguing that the Dutchman still has a lot to offer.
Barça is thinking about what to do. Moleiro has been dying to play at Camp Nou for some time. There was a possibility, but it never came to fruition. Laporta knows he has to move quickly. Right now his future is pointing to the Premier League, with Arsenal as the favorite.
