Barcelona are looking to strengthen their ranks in the upcoming transfer window. Despite the great performance the Catalan team is showing under coach Hansi Flick, the club aims to further enhance its squad with some of the best players in the world.
Barcelona currently leads the La Liga standings with 33 points, 9 points ahead of their closest pursuer, Real Madrid, in second place, with a postponed match for the Madrid team.
According to information from the Spanish newspaper “El Nacional”, until recently, Rafael Leão and Nico Williams were the most popular options to strengthen the winger position in Barcelona during the next transfer window.
However, it seems that Hansi Flick, the club’s technical director, has set a new priority in this position: Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.
The Georgian winger for Napoli has strongly entered the circle of interests for the Blaugrana after regaining his best form in Serie A under the guidance of Antonio Conte, who has been able to exploit his potential to the maximum.
Kvaratskhelia’s current contract situation, coupled with the lack of an agreement over a renewal with the Italian club, makes him a tempting prospect that Barcelona are eager to explore.
Kvaratskhelia is one of the most sought-after players in Europe, not only for his outstanding performances but also for his unique personality on the pitch.
His speed, dribbling ability, and creativity in creating chances have made him shine on the European stage. Flick knows that his style fits perfectly into the system he wants to implement at Barcelona.
Although Rafael Leão had become the first choice after his disagreement with the Milan coach, and Nico Williams had been on the club’s radar following the summer negotiations, Flick seems determined to prioritise signing Kvaratskhelia.
The 23-year-old Georgian also represents a long-term investment, something that Joan Laporta is considering in order to strengthen the squad in a sustainable manner.
Flick, who is closely following the situation, believes that Kvaratskhelia could be a valuable strategic addition to the team. He considers signing him at a reasonable price, compared to his abilities, to be an opportunity that Barcelona cannot afford to miss.
