FC Barcelona Continues Working on Squad Planning. With Hansi Flick at the helm, the team has regained its best form and is once again competitive in all competitions.
In LaLiga, the title race remains open, with the blaugranas fighting for every point. In the Champions League, the team has already secured its place in the round of 16 with ease. Additionally, in the Copa del Rey, they are preparing for a crucial semifinal clash.
Despite the good performance, the sports management doesn't stop. Joan Laporta and Deco are working on new signings and possible departures. In recent days, there has been an unexpected turn in the market.
Flick has put forward the name of a priority reinforcement for the attack. Meanwhile, Liverpool has made an offer to sign Frenkie de Jong.
Flick Is Clear: A New Talent for the Attack
Since his arrival, Flick has insisted that the team needs more offensive options. The lack of quality substitutes is concerning, especially looking ahead to the decisive phase of the season.
Lamine Yamal, Raphinha, and Lewandowski lead the attack, but beyond Ferran Torres, the options are limited. For this reason, the German coach has recommended the arrival of a player who brings speed, imbalance, and the ability to adapt to different positions.
The footballer in question fits perfectly into Flick's idea. Young, experienced at the elite level, and with room for growth. An striker who can make a difference at Barça.
A Market Opportunity That Barça Wants to Seize
Economically, the operation is viable. The player belongs to a club that could be forced to sell if they fail to qualify for the Champions League.
Barça has already initiated contacts to understand the transfer conditions. It is estimated that the signing could be completed for a figure below 50 million euros. An affordable investment for a talent with the potential to be key in the team's future.
Deco is working on the operation, and significant progress could be made in the coming days. But it's not the only important move the club is handling.
Liverpool Makes Its Offer for Frenkie de Jong
While Barça works on its new signing, Liverpool has intensified its interest in Frenkie de Jong. The Dutch midfielder has been at the center of discussions in the blaugrana offices for months.
The management has been trying to renew his contract for over a year, but without success. De Jong has always expressed his desire to stay at the club, but his lack of commitment to the renewal raises doubts.
With a contract until 2026, Barça doesn't want to reach a breaking point. If the player doesn't agree to renew, the best option is to listen to offers for his departure this summer.
Arne Slot's Liverpool is clear. De Jong is a priority, and the English club has made a move to secure his signing.
An Insufficient Offer... But with an Alternative
Barça has received an initial proposal from Liverpool: 35 million euros for De Jong. An amount that has been immediately rejected by the blaugrana management.
The Catalan club paid 86 million for the Dutchman and isn't willing to let him go for such a low figure. However, Barça has left open a possibility to unlock the operation.
According to sources close to the negotiation, Barça has proposed a swap. Instead of an insufficient financial offer, Laporta and Deco have suggested the arrival of two Liverpool players in the operation.
The players chosen by Barça would be Luis Díaz and Joe Gómez. The Colombian winger is an old desire of the club and would fit perfectly into Flick's scheme. His speed, dribbling ability, and goal-scoring make him an ideal option to strengthen the attack.
On the other hand, Joe Gómez is a versatile defender who can play both as a center-back and a right-back. His versatility and experience in the Premier League would be an important reinforcement for the blaugrana defense.
Flick's Choice to Strengthen the Attack
While Liverpool pushes for De Jong, Barça continues with its own star signing. After weeks of speculation, the name of the striker Flick has requested has already come to light: Karim Adeyemi.
The Borussia Dortmund winger, 23 years old, is one of the most explosive players in the Bundesliga. His speed, dribbling, and versatility make him an ideal bet for Barça.
Flick knows him well. He was the one who gave him the opportunity to debut with the German national team. Now, he wants to have him at Camp Nou to boost the team's attack.
Negotiations have begun. Barça seeks to finalize his signing while simultaneously deciding De Jong's future. The coming days will be crucial in the blaugrana market.
