Barça Is Clear That Signing a Winger Will Be Their Main Objective in the Transfer Market for the Next Season. Despite having players like Lamine Yamal, Raphinha, and Ferran Torres, Flick doesn't count on Ansu and Pau Víctor.
From the sports management, they are fully aware of this deficiency and consider it a priority to incorporate a winger. This is why Barça has already begun to explore different options in the market to find the right profile.
The Three Stars on the List
Joan Laporta is in favor of making a high-profile signing to strengthen this position. In this regard, the club has focused on Nico Williams, Rafael Leao, and Luis Díaz. Any of them would represent a significant qualitative leap for the squad, as they bring speed, imbalance, and dribbling ability.
However, the operation won't be easy. All three players have long contracts with their respective clubs and have high values. Despite this, Joan Laporta continues to dream of incorporating a star that excites the fans and strengthens a key position in Barça's scheme.
Deco Handles More Names
Deco is aware that signing a big star will be complicated due to the club's financial restrictions. Although the names of Nico, Leao, and Luis Diaz are the most talked about, the Portuguese handles a much broader list of alternatives.
According to the newspaper Sport, the club is closely following a footballer whose contract ends in 2026 and who, for this reason, could leave for about 30M. This figure is considerably more affordable than the costs of the TOP players mentioned earlier.
The Footballer Who Returns to Barça's Radar
The player in question is Edon Zhegrova, a winger from Lille. The 25-year-old Kosovar has caught Barça's attention for his dribbling, speed, and ability to play on both sides of the attack. With a contract until 2026, Lille might be willing to negotiate his departure for a reasonable figure.
His profile fits what Barça is looking for: an unbalancing player who can offer options on the left wing without requiring a massive investment. Although there is no negotiation underway yet, Zhegrova's name is starting to gain traction as a realistic option.
