FC Barcelona continues with its planning for the next transfer market. Joan Laporta and the sports management are clear that one of Hansi Flick's priorities is to strengthen the attack with a versatile, aggressive forward hungry for success.
In this context, the club has worked on different options to strengthen the squad. For months, a player has been on the blaugrana's radar, but his contractual situation and his importance in his current team have complicated negotiations.
In this scenario, Gavi has played a key role in convincing this player that his best destination is Camp Nou. With his intervention, Barça has taken a step forward and is ready to finalize the signing in the summer.
A profile that fits perfectly at Barça
The player in question has tremendous potential and a personality that fits perfectly with the blaugrana philosophy. He is a player who doesn't give up, with unbelievable intensity in every match and a great ability to press and create danger in attack.
The blaugrana board believes he can bring imbalance, defensive sacrifice, and a great dose of grit, something the team has missed at times during the season.
The Andalusian midfielder is not only a leader on the field but also off it. He knows that this player can make a difference at Barça, and he hasn't hesitated to contact him to explain the project. The conversations between them have been very positive, and the forward has been convinced that his best option is to land at Camp Nou.
Laporta gets ahead of Chelsea and PSG
The interest in this player is not exclusive to Barça. Chelsea and PSG were also in the race for his signing, and both clubs had made approaches to convince him.
However, Gavi's intervention has been key for the player to end up choosing Barça. The possibility of sharing a locker room with young talents like Lamine Yamal, Pedri, and Fermín López has been a determining factor in his decision. Additionally, the player values the club's history and the opportunity to grow under Hansi Flick's guidance, who has conveyed his confidence that he will be an essential piece.
The forward chosen by Barça is none other than Giuliano Simeone, Atlético de Madrid's striker and son of Cholo Simeone. At 21 years old, Giuliano has proven to be a tireless forward, with great physical prowess and a winning mentality. His playing style fits perfectly with what Flick is looking for: a player who can press high, recover balls, and bring dynamism to the attack.
This season has been one of the great revelations in LaLiga, earning a starting position and making it clear that he is ready to make the leap to a top-level team.
Barça has gotten ahead of the competition and secured a strategic signing to strengthen its squad. With Giuliano Simeone, the team gains intensity, aggressiveness, and versatility in attack, ensuring a player who will give everything in every match.
