Barcelona officials, headed by Joan Laporta, are planning to sign a heavyweight deal during the upcoming winter transfer period of 2024 to strengthen the ranks of the Catalan team.
Hansi Flick has begun to pressure Barcelona’s management to reach new contracts that add strength to the Catalan team, especially after the team fell into the trap of defeat against Monaco yesterday.

In light of this, the Spanish newspaper “Sport” revealed that Barcelona’s management wants to sign Austrian defender Samson Baido, a player for Salzburg during the upcoming winter transfer period of 2025.
The newspaper added that Barcelona knows the extent of the talent enjoyed by the Salzburg defender, who is in the orbit of Manchester City, England, in addition to some English clubs for some time.
The newspaper continued that Barcelona sent its scouts to monitor the Austrian Salzburg player, Samson Baido, who is 20 years old, and who is considered one of the talents of Austrian football at the present time.
